About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the "Montecitorio" vineyard, where the soils are composed of marl and chalk.

The grapes are harvested by hand and briefly macerated at the winery. Fermentation takes place with natural yeasts at a controlled temperature of 18–22 °C.

Ageing

The wine rests on fine lees for 10 months, followed by six months in bottle in the winery’s cellars.
