The vines are located 500 meters above sea level, on clay-sandy soils, with an eastern exposure. These conditions, combined with manual harvesting and vinification in concrete, help preserve expressive purity, depth, and freshness. The long aging, carried out between concrete, barrel, and bottle, completes a wine with a serious and reflective character, capable of uniting tradition and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents itself with a bright and intense ruby red color.
