Description
Zero was created in 1997, the product of a two-hectare Aglianico vineyard in Acqua di Costanza, in the municipality of Torchiara. This part of the Alto Cilento shows the influence of the Tyrrhenian and the very sunny climate. The wine is made beginning with partially dried grapes, with spontaneous fermentation, and is aged in wood.
