Product information
It is a wine made from 100% Aglianico grapes from our vineyards, which surround the winery. Harvesting is done manually in small boxes to allow bunch-by-bunch selection and lay the grapes well so as not to break the berries. First vintage produced 2020, release December 2024

FERMENTATION: De-stemming and soft crushing of the grapes precedes maceration, which lasts about 30 days, in stainless steel at 26/28°C. The malolactic, on the other hand, takes place in barrique spontaneously during the spring period
