About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from two south-facing organic vineyards in the Taburnio area. The Bonea site lies at 400 m above sea level and has vines averaging 50 years old; the Montesarchio site lies at 300 m and has vines averaging 90 years old.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in late October, destemmed and crushed. They undergo two days of skin maceration, followed by spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts in fiberglass tanks and malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

The wine rests for 7–12 months before being bottled without filtration or stabilization.

Tasting profile

Vibrant and distinctive, with a taut structure.
