About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow near the extinct volcano Monte Vulture in Basilicata, southern Italy.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully transported in crates to keep the berries intact. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats for 10–15 days.

Ageing

The wine matures for 18 months in 228 L French oak barrels, followed by six months in bottle. It is recommended for drinking within 24 months of bottling.

Tasting profile

Aromatic and lively, with musky berry notes and firm tannins.
