The single vineyard site Le Castelle lies at around 350–400 metres altitude and faces south. Its volcanic soil contains mineral components and is more fertile than the other Antoniolo sites. The grapes are hand-selected and fermented spontaneously in concrete tanks with natural yeasts; malolactic fermentation takes place spontaneously in wood. The wine is matured for 20 months in 35–50-hl casks, followed by 18 months in a 300-hl cask and one year of bottle ageing. The style is spicy and balsamic, with dark cherry, tobacco and liquorice, taut acidity, pronounced tannins and a long mineral finish.
