About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from Fontana Candida vineyards in Lazio.

Vinification

The grapes were harvested during the first ten days of September. Vinification lasted 10–12 days at a controlled temperature.

Ageing

The young wine rested briefly, partly in barriques and partly in stainless-steel tanks.
