Method of Production

The three vines that compose Auxo are Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Ciliegiolo, clearly refering to the Tuscan winemaking tradition. The presence of these vines in the Colli di Luni is the result of the historical and social influences that the two territories have always shared. Auxo perfectly recounts this encounter: the Ligurian terroir characterized by the strong proximity between sea and mountains, welcomed these three Tuscan vines, giving them elegance and identity, with the low yields in the vineyard and the passage in large wooden barrels expressed through intense aromas.
