| Climate |
Altitude: 150-300 m. a.s.l. |
| Soil composition |
Limestone with moderate alkalinity, poor drainage and stony content. These features give low yields but with remarkable quality. |
| Cultivation system |
Trellised "pergola" system. |
| Harvest |
The grapes are harvested strictly by hand in small plastic crates and transported as quickly as possible to the winemaking cellar. |
| Vinification |
Once in the winery, the grapes are placed on a sorting belt before being crushed and destemmed. At this stage, two or more people carry out a careful sorting operation, which further ensures the integrity of the product. |
| Ageing |
After racking, malolactic fermentation takes place, followed by a careful selection of the best batches. Finally, the wine is aged for about 36-48 months in medium-sized and large barrels. After bottling, the wine rests further for at least 6 months in temperature-controlled environments. |
| Pairing |
This wine is excellent with savoury first courses, such as risotto with mushrooms. It is also ideal with meat dishes such as grilled meats, roasts and game. It is also excellent with salami and medium-aged cheeses. |
