About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the municipalities of Ortona and San Salvo on the Adriatic coast of Abruzzo. The vineyards face southeast and are planted on calcareous clay soils, which give the wine its distinctive character.

Vinification

Harvest takes place in late September. After harvesting and sorting, the grapes are destemmed, pressed and cold-macerated, then fermented for 10 days at 20–22 °C.

Ageing

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

Tasting profile

Elegant and well balanced, appealing from the first sip.
