| Climate | The 2020 vintage was marked by great balance. A mild and dry winter was followed by unsettled and rainy spring months. The summer months recorded moderate temperatures with no extremes and an ideal water supply. The harvest, completed in the second half of October, took place under optimal conditions, with dry and warm weather. |
| Soil composition | Calcareous, clayey and pebbly. |
| Harvest | The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-September and laid out to dry inside the Fruttaio for about 3 months, where the bunches lose about 25-30% of their weight with a consequent concentration of the substances present in the grapes. |
| Wine making | After pressing, alcoholic fermentation starts in steel for about 25-30 days at a controlled temperature. Continuous punching-down is carried out to favour the extraction of the colouring and tannic component. |
| Aging | At the end, the wine is transferred to French oak barriques where malolactic fermentation takes place, giving the wine softness. After about 18-20 months of maturation, the wine is bottled for a further 4 months. |
