About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in vineyards in Tufo, in mineral-rich soils.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-October and fermented in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature using selected native yeasts. Malolactic fermentation is carried out only partially, according to the vintage's natural acidity. The wine is lightly filtered before bottling.

Ageing

The wine rests on its lees for nine months, followed by a further year in the winery's cellars before release.

Label / history

Four centuries ago, the Marzo family was the first to plant Greco vines in the area, bringing them from the slopes of Mount Vesuvius.
