About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in the communes of Tollo, Ortona and Canosa Sannita at an altitude of 130 metres. The vineyards have west and southwest exposures, and the vines are 10–15 years old.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in early October, then destemmed and crushed. The must undergoes cold maceration and gentle pressing, followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature of 18 °C.

Ageing

The wine rests in stainless steel tanks for three months.
