About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes were grown at 300–400 metres above sea level.
Vinification
The grapes were harvested by hand in early October. Maceration lasted 20 days at a controlled temperature of 28–30 °C.
Ageing
The wine aged for 11 months in a combination of new and previously used French and Slavonian oak barrels.
Label / history
The estate takes its name from the Grace family and the nineteenth-century windmill on the property. Its labels reproduce a sculpture of two men carrying a grapevine that stands in front of the winery’s cellars.
Frank Grace rediscovered the neglected Volano vineyards near Panzano and, with Gerhard Hirmer, restored them and built a modern winery. Oenologist Franco Bernabei organised the estate’s wine production.
