The vines grow on loamy alluvial soils along the banks of the Melezza and Maggia in the Locarnese. After vinification, the wine matures for 12 to 18 months in 225-litre oak barriques. In the glass it appears ruby-red with violet reflections. The bouquet is intense and complex, with dark-berry notes and toasted aromas. On the palate it is full, persistent in flavour and structured; the producer does not publish information on acidity, tannins, spontaneous fermentation or filtration. According to the producer, the wine has ageing potential of seven to eight years.
