About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in the communes of Tollo and Giuliano Teatino, at 130–150 m above sea level. The vineyards face southeast, and the vines are 15–20 years old.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in early October. Skin maceration and fermentation take place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28 °C, followed by partial malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

The wine ages in stainless steel tanks for six months.
