Description
Rigorous, earnest and with dense f lavor, rich structure and healthy acidity. Part of the grapes comes from a higher-elevation vineyard, Pian delle Viti, which was called Valle Sospesa or “Suspended Valley” in the Middle Ages, mostly of marine origin, only marginally touched by the glacier. Its limestone-rich soil gives the wine a delicious mineral note.
