About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in the vineyards of Contrada Bellusa.

Vinification

The fruit is harvested by hand during the last ten days of September. It macerates on the skins for 19 days before pressing separates the juice from the skins and pulp. The prolonged skin contact extracts tannins. The wine contains 13 mg/L of sulfites, occurring naturally during fermentation.

Ageing

The wine rests on its lees for two months.

Tasting profile

Expressive in character, with tannic structure derived from the extended skin contact.
