About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from biodynamic vineyards on southeast-facing slopes in Monterotondo, at 350 m above sea level. Abundant sunshine supports reliable ripening, while coastal breezes cool the vineyards and reduce the grapes’ susceptibility to disease.

Vinification

The grapes are gently pressed after harvest, then fermented at a controlled temperature in stainless-steel vats.

Ageing

The wine remains in stainless-steel vats on its fine lees.

Tasting profile

Lively.
