Description
Where it comes from
The vineyard is cultivated using the Guyot system at an altitude of around 220 metres, in a privileged hillside setting. The distinctive character of the area comes from the Marne di Sant’Agata, soils composed of clay, sand and limestone that impart a profound intensity of flavour to the palate. Careful agronomic management limits the yield to sixty quintals per hectare, ensuring a high extractive concentration, which is essential to support the richness and consistency typical of this great red wine.
How it is produced
The vinification process begins in temperature-controlled steel containers, where a post-fermentation maceration of about three weeks takes place. The malolactic fermentation, carried out at a constant temperature, elegantly shapes the wine’s acidic components. This is followed by a maturation period of several months in oak barrels, which enrich the aromatic profile with delicate spicy nuances, before concluding with a period of bottle ageing that is fundamental for achieving full structural harmony.
