About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in the company’s vineyards in the commune of Tollo, at 1,200–1,500 metres above sea level. The sites face south and southeast and have predominantly clay and limestone soils. The vines are 25–30 years old on average.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in the second half of October at optimal ripeness. Following maceration on the skins, the must ferments for one week at 28–30 °C. Malolactic fermentation is completed before ageing.

Ageing

The wine ages for 24 months in 25-hectolitre Slavonian oak barrels.

Tasting profile

The aroma is expressive and the palate velvety.

Label / history
