| Vineyard | The climate balances the soft and sapid influence of the sea together with the cold streams from the Gran Sasso Mountain, giving birth to a perfect condition that allows a slow and progressive ripening of the flavours and creating an ideal balance between sugars and acidity. The clay and limestone soil hosts the roots, which go down for more than several meters, the soil also provides and feeds them with a specific mineralogy that allows the wine to have complexity and longevity. |

| Vinification | After the manual harvest the grapes in the winery. The white grapes are crushed by feet in a big wooden tub, 350kg at a time get crushed for 40-45 minutes, allowing a constant stimulation of skin with the juice, letting the skin release matter, flavours and aromas. This method allow us to press the grapes in a delicate and soft way, not letting the stems break and letting us have a rich must ready to ferment. Only the juice go to ferment in small concrete tanks, where spontaneous fermentation will start and go on for 30-35 days. From concrete the wine will go straight into bottle to start his long improvement in bottle. |
