About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the “Montegradella” vineyard, where the vines grow on clay-limestone soils.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and gently pressed. Following crushing, 10–20% of the must is removed to increase the proportion of skins during fermentation. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature for 8–10 days and is followed by malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

The wine matures for 18–24 months in concrete tanks and large oak barrels, then rests for a further four months in bottle in the winery’s cellars before release.

Tasting profile

Elegant and refined.
