About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vines are at least 30 years old and trained as small trees. Yields are very low, at no more than five bunches per vine. Puglia has a mild Mediterranean climate, with hot, very dry summers and little rainfall.

Vinification

Fermentation is followed by a long maceration.

Ageing

The wine rests for eight months in stainless-steel tanks and 12 months in large oak barrels, followed by further ageing in bottle.

Tasting profile

Fragrant spicy aromas lead to a powerful, focused and very elegant palate with a fresh character.
