About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Pinot Nero is grown on the estate's vineyards at 250–390 m above sea level, on clay-limestone soils.

Vinification

Harvest takes place in the last ten days of September. The must undergoes a short maceration before fermentation. Fermentation is carried out in truncated cone-shaped oak vats, and malolactic fermentation follows in French oak barrels.

Ageing

The wine ages in oak barriques for 8–10 months. After bottling it rests a further 4–6 months in the winery's cellars.

Tasting profile

Elegant.
