The grapes from the vineyards of Pianella and/or Loreto Aprutino are harvested by hand, placed in small crates and transported to the winery. Crushing and pressing are carried out using a small destemmer-crusher and an old press.
The must obtained is transferred partly to terracotta amphorae and partly to used French oak tonneaux. To start fermentation, the “pied de cuve” of indigenous yeasts obtained previously from the same grapes is added.
Fermentation normally takes place in 7-10 days and the wine obtained is decanted and aged on its noble lees in 15hl Slavonian oak barrels and terracotta amphorae.
Ageing lasts about 2 years, after which the wine is decanted and bottled without filtration.

Data sheet
A structured, varied and intriguing wine, with a golden yellow colour and organoleptic tones reminiscent of a meadow of flowers and aromatic herbs.
The wine is powerful, full-bodied and balanced, with an intense red colour and slight garnet reflections. It has aromas of black cherry, undergrowth and resin, with hints of jam and liquorice on the palate.
A multifaceted wine with an important structure.
Straw yellow in colour, fresh, appropriately savoury, with distinctive and well-defined organoleptic characteristics. The taste is full-bodied, composed, almost austere, but never excessive.
A wine with a vivid, slightly deep red colour and a varied aroma with ethereal hints of ripe fruit. Balanced in freshness and flavour, rich in body and extracts.
