The grapes come from the Ponka vineyard in the hills of Medana; the area’s soils consist of flysch, marl and sandstone with marine fossils. The spontaneously fermented grapes remain on the skins for four days. The wine then matures for one year in 500-litre acacia casks, another year in 2000-litre acacia casks and, in its third year, in stainless steel. It shows cool red berries, forest floor and spice, with taut, vertical structure, fine acidity and restrained tannins. It is bottled unfiltered with minimal sulphur addition.
