About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Cortese grapes grow at 350 metres above sea level on the southern slopes of biodynamically farmed vineyards in Monterotondo. The vines are 35 years old on average.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and gently pressed immediately. Fermentation proceeds slowly in concrete tanks at a controlled temperature.

Ageing

The wine rests on its fine lees in concrete vats for eight months.
