About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from 50-year-old vines around Tufo.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, usually in late October, then gently crushed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks with selected yeast cultures. The wine remains on the skins for around 10 days to extract colour and aroma while limiting tannin extraction. Natural malolactic fermentation occurs as temperatures rise in spring.

Ageing

The wine matures for six months in oak barriques, followed by at least four months in bottle before release.
