About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vines are 30 years old and grow at 200–220 metres above sea level on south- and southeast-facing hills. The soils are clay-limestone.

Vinification

Skins macerate for 8–10 days at a controlled temperature, with selected yeasts. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks.

Ageing

At the end of fermentation the wine goes into oak barrels for about 3 months. It then spends 6 months in stainless steel tanks. After bottling it rests in the winery's cellars for a further 3 months.

Tasting profile

Elegant, smooth and well structured.

Serving and pairing

Open the bottle at least 30 minutes before serving.
