About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from old vineyards on the hillsides of Arce, in the Liri River valley of Lazio, at 150 metres above sea level. The clay-limestone sites are ICEA-certified organic and DEMETER-certified biodynamic.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness and vinified according to biodynamic principles. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations occur spontaneously with native yeasts in concrete tanks. The wine is bottled in accordance with the lunar calendar, without stabilisation, fining or filtration. Sulfur dioxide is added only minimally, with total sulfites limited to 23 mg/l.

Ageing

The wine matures for 12 months in truncated-cone oak vats with capacities of 27 hl and 500 litres.

Tasting profile

Light, fresh and refreshing, with a juicy, lively character.
