Indicative price
40.00 USD(no guarantee)

The vines grow in the steep, terraced Contrada Monte Colla at an altitude of 750–780 metres, with a south-south-westerly exposure, on sandy-clayey soils. The vines, over 70 years old, were planted in 1946. After destemming and light crushing, the must ferments with indigenous yeasts and remains on the skins for around 50 days. The wine is aged for 18 months in neutral epoxy-resin tanks and for a further 18 months in bottle. It is powerful and deep, with dark cherry, a salty olive note, spice, pronounced structure and soft tannins.
