About this wine

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and partially dried to concentrate their sugar before vinification using the traditional appassimento method.

Ageing

The wine matures in small French oak barrels for at least 8 months.

Label / history

The label depicts a colourful hoopoe, the striking bird that inspired winemaker Roberto Sarotto to create the wine.
