Vineyards and region

The wine comes from the Abruzzo region, on the Adriatic coast. Here, the Mediterranean climate ensures optimal ripening, with warm days and the cooling influences of the mountains. The combination of clay and limestone soils and abundant sunshine contributes to the full flavor and excellent balance of fruit, tannins, and freshness.

Vinification and maturation

After destemming, the grapes are transferred to small stainless steel fermentation tanks. There, they macerate on the skins for approximately 15 days to enhance color, aroma, and structure. The wine is then pressed and bottled. There is no mention of oak aging, allowing the grapes' pure character to fully express itself.
