About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from Rocca di Neto and Casabona in Calabria. The vineyards have clayey, calcareous soils and are trained to spurred cordon at a density of 5,000 vines per hectare. Yield is 80 quintals of grapes and 52 hectolitres of wine per hectare.

Grapes

100% Chardonnay.

Vinification

Harvest takes place in the second ten-day period of August. The whole bunches undergo gentle pressing, and the base wine is made in stainless steel. Secondary fermentation follows the traditional method.

Ageing

The base wine remains in stainless steel. Tirage is carried out in April, after which the wine spends 24 months on the lees.

Tasting profile

A traditional-method sparkling wine presented through elegance and delicacy.

Label / history

The name means “soul of the Neto” and, together with the rosé counterpart, evokes the cool areas of the Neto valley.
