About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the Lahn vineyard at the foot of the Mendola massif, where the vines grow on rocky limestone soils and are swept by fresh winds. The vines are 10–25 years old and produce small yields.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-September and fermented in stainless-steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine rests on its lees in the same stainless-steel tanks for seven months.

Tasting profile

Elegant, lively and expressive, with abundant aromas, fresh acidity and depth.
