About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The vineyards lie in the hills of northern Taranto province in Salento, Puglia, at approximately 100 metres above sea level. Pronounced differences between daytime and nighttime temperatures characterize the area. Espalier-trained vines are planted at 4,000 plants per hectare on shallow, medium-textured clay soil with a substantial stony component.
Grapes

Vinification
Harvest takes place during the last week of August. After destemming and gentle pressing, the must undergoes cold static settling. Alcoholic fermentation proceeds in stainless-steel tanks at 14°C.
Ageing
Maturation takes place in stainless-steel tanks.
