About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow along the Adriatic coast in Abruzzo. The vineyards have a south-eastern exposure, with vines planted in limestone and clay soils.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at the end of September and sorted before destemming and pressing. The must undergoes cold maceration for two days, followed by fermentation at 20–22 °C for 9–11 days.

Ageing

Depending on the quality of the vintage, 10–20% of the wine is aged in oak barrels; the remainder stays in stainless-steel tanks.
