Story | The Bellone grape is vigorous and resistant to drought – a guarantee for wine quality and balance while its plump, golden, thick-skinned grapes hang in elongated, cone-shaped bunches. A persistent sea breeze contributes to the perfect ripening of the grapes while a perfect concentration of sugar and notable acidity help to underline the wine’s pronounced mineral notes. |
Origin | Anzio |
Climate | Our more than 60 year old vines thrive in this small, unique microclimate or terroir where a perfect interdependence of vine, soil, climate and tradition, essential to the production of a great wine, is to be found. |
Soil composition | The composition of the soil in what is now our breezy vineyard near the coastal town of Anzio enabled it to resist the disastrous phylloxera epidemic of the late 19th century and to preserve the area’s local ungrafted (free of rootstock) vines. |
Harvest | The harvest takes place in late September. |
Wine making | Vinification takes place in two stages: first, maceration on the skins to encourage extraction of the aromas resulting from the terroir, then, after soft pressing, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts for around 10 2 days at 18-20 °C. |
Allergens | Contains sulphites |
