Vineyards and region

The wine comes from vineyards in the province of Chieti, in the southern part of Abruzzo. Thanks to its proximity to the Adriatic Sea and the foothills of the Apennines, a unique microclimate prevails here, with warm days, cool nights, and ample ventilation. The soils consist of clay and limestone, which impart freshness, finesse, and structure to the wine.

Vinification and maturation

After harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. No wood is used, allowing the Pinot Grigio's pure expression to fully unfold. The wine rests for several months on fine lees for added roundness and aromatic intensity.

Grape composition

100% Pinot Grigio.
