About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in vineyards in the commune of Matelica. The vines are 30 years old on average.

Vinification

Harvest takes place in the second half of October, two weeks later than usual, when the grapes are slightly overripe. After gentle pressing, the wine ferments in stainless-steel tanks for 20 days at 20 °C, then remains on the lees until spring.

Ageing

The wine matures for 18 months in stainless-steel tanks, followed by six months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Balanced and powerful on the palate, with a complex aroma.
