The vineyards are about 20 years old, enjoy a full east exposure, and are planted on marl-limestone soils characterized by a strong presence of skeleton, at an altitude of about 450 meters above sea level. Following manual harvesting, red winemaking takes place through 3 weeks of alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks thanks to the action of only indigenous yeasts, accompanied by periodic pump-overs. The 30% of the mass remains on the skins for 4 months and the wine ages for two years in large Slavonian oak barrels of 20 and 30 hectoliters. After at least another 3 months of aging in the bottle, the final release on the market takes place.
