The vines are located in the Sass parcel on weathered, mica- and mineral-rich schist gneiss in Malcantone. The grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and are vinified traditionally. The wine matures for 18 months in used barriques, keeping the oak influence restrained. Stylistically, it is cool, taut and mineral, with red berries, floral and stony notes, grippy tannins and a precise, elegant structure. The 2023 vintage is a single-variety vineyard-site Merlot.
