The vineyards stretch across steep, sun-kissed slopes situated at an altitude between six hundred and eight hundred meters above sea level. The characteristic sandy and clayey soils force the vines to seek nourishment deep down and favor a slow ripening which positively affects the wine’s consistency.How it is producedHarvesting takes place at the beginning of October to take advantage of the grapes' late ripening, essential for defining the structure and intensity of the sip. In the cellar, the selected clusters undergo a gentle pressing that allows the varietal's organoleptic qualities to remain intact. Fermentation at controlled temperatures and maturation in steel tanks ensure expressive clarity.Tasting notesIn the glass, it shows a bright straw yellow shade with delicate greenish highlights.
