About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in Irpinia on clay soils.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in late October. Traditional vinification takes place in stainless-steel tanks, with one week of skin maceration.

Ageing

After fermentation, half of the wine ages in used French oak barrels, while the other half remains on the lees in stainless-steel tanks. It is bottled in July.

Label / history

The first vintage was released in 2009.
