About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in Salento, in the province of Brindisi, Puglia.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at dawn to preserve freshness. After crushing, they are gently pressed, and the must undergoes static clarification before fermentation at 15 °C for 10 days.

Ageing

The wine rests partly in stainless-steel tanks and partly in new barriques for four months, followed by one month in bottle.
