Method & Production

The vineyards are at 400 metres above sea level, on the hills around the town of Avellino. After the grapes are hand-harvested, they are destemmed and left to macerate on the skins for 12-15 days. The grapes are periodically stirred during this period to obtain optimal extraction of the anthocyanins and tannins contained in the skins. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are completed in stainless steel vats using selected yeasts. One month of maturation on the lees, with three months overall maturation, before filtering and bottling.
