About this wine

Vinification

The Verdicchio grapes are harvested late.

Ageing

After fermentation, 25% of the wine ages in 5 and 10 hL oak barrels, while the remaining 75% spends around 14 months in stainless-steel tanks. It then matures in bottle for a further six months.

Tasting profile

Late harvesting gives the wine concentrated character, richness and complexity. Extended ageing adds substance.
