About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow along the Adriatic coast of Abruzzo, in clay-limestone soils. The vines are trained on the Pergola system.

Vinification

Harvest is by hand. At the winery the grapes are sorted, destemmed and crushed. After 2 days of cold maceration, fermentation runs for 9–11 days at 20–22 °C.

Ageing

Between 10 and 20% of the wine is aged in oak barrels; the rest matures in stainless steel tanks.

Tasting profile

Easy-going and food-friendly.

Vintage notes

In 2023 the wine won a gold medal at the Frankfurt International Trophy and a silver medal at Mundus Vini.
