About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from an old, Tendone-trained vineyard at altitude, with a wide temperature range and good exposure. The grapes are grown using certified organic methods intended to minimise environmental impact.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in early September. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, with fermentation below 16 °C. The wine is bottled without exposure to oxygen.

Ageing

The wine rests for three months in concrete tanks before bottling.
