About this wine

Grapes

The wine is made primarily from the rare native Bombino Bianco grape, historically associated with central Lazio, with a small proportion of Malvasia.

Vinification

Skin maceration, an unusual technique for white wine, adds depth and character. Fermentation takes place in tonneaux.

Ageing

The wine ages in tonneaux on its own lees, adding richness and complexity.

Tasting profile

Fresh and mineral, with additional depth and richness, it is balanced and complex.
