About this wine

Grapes

Both Nerello Mascalese and Nocera are native to the region.

Vinification

After harvest, the grapes undergo a long maceration.

Ageing

The wine matures in French oak barrels and stainless-steel tanks.

Tasting profile

It has a distinctive, memorable aroma and a rich flavour.

Label / history

“Figlio di N.N.” means “a child whose father is unknown” in Italian. The name reflects the creators’ view that the wine results from the work of the entire winemaking team, making it impossible to identify a single “father.”
