Method of Production

The grapes are grown in the foothills where the terroir is characterized by medium-textured soils, and in the area of the Luni plain with predominantly sandy soils. The characteristics of these two different terroirs, combined with the identity of the grape, lead to the expression of a wine of great finesse and balance with a strongly territorial imprint. To best enhance these characteristics, we have chosen a very careful and delicate vinification, the fermentation takes place in steel at a controlled temperature, resting on the skins for 10 days, with a subsequent refinement in large wooden barrels for a brief period.
