About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The five varieties are grown in Puglia in vineyards farmed to ICEA standards for synergistic and organic agriculture. The vines are 22 years old on average. Silica- and limestone-rich soils extend to a depth of 6 m, above a further 2 m of clay-limestone rich in humus. The clay retains moisture, while the stones provide drainage.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand during the first ten days of October. After destemming and gentle crushing, spontaneous fermentation begins in stainless-steel tanks. The wine then undergoes 25–30 days of skin maceration before gentle pressing.

Ageing

The wine matures for 18 months in stainless-steel tanks with frequent bâtonnage.

Tasting profile

Simple and straightforward, with a pronounced fruit character.
