The grapes come from the estate’s own vineyards in Alto Gualtallary at around 1,200 metres above sea level. The sparse, well-drained soils consist of sand and gravel; large differences between day and night temperatures promote freshness and acidity. After 48 hours of cold maceration at 10 °C, the wine ferments for ten days at a maximum of 25–27 °C, followed by a further ten days of maceration. It matures without oak. In the glass, it shows a violet colour and aromas of blackberry, blueberry and violet; on the palate, it is dry, fruit-driven, lively and medium-bodied. No sulphites are added.
