Territory and wine style

This wine comes from the Felciaino vineyards, planted in 1986, in an area where the medium-textured soil with alluvial skeleton contributes to defining balance and depth. The harvest takes place in the early days of October, while the vinification occurs with natural yeasts in steel, a choice that preserves the identity. Actually keep Italian. The vinification with natural yeasts in steel enhances the purity of the fruit and the expressive precision. Aging for at least 24 months in French oak barriques, with a portion of first use, completes the profile with greater complexity and harmony, without overshadowing the identity of the grape variety.
