About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit is grown in the Timperosse area of Menfi, where the climate is dry and the soils are sandy and rich in iron.

Vinification

The grapes undergo a short maceration lasting 4–6 days at a controlled temperature of 15–18 °C.

Ageing

The wine matures in stainless-steel tanks for three months at 10 °C, followed by four months in bottle.
