The grapes come from the best south- to south-west-facing vineyard sites at an altitude of 470 metres, on highly stony Alberese and limestone soils. After hand-picking, fermentation took place in conical stainless steel vessels at 26–28 °C, followed by 15–16 days of skin maceration. The wine was aged for 18 months in 500-litre French oak casks, 50% of them new, followed by four months in a concrete tank. It combines firm structure and mineral character with elegant concentration and has a ageing potential of more than 20 years.
