The grapes come from seven vineyard sites between 220 and 570 metres in altitude. The soils are rich in Alberese as well as calcareous and marly rock. After hand-harvesting, the wine ferments at 26–28 °C and undergoes 16–18 days of skin contact; it then matures for twelve months in 225- and 500-litre French oak barrels, followed by 30–45 days in concrete tanks. The wine shows woodland berries, red cherry and fresh spice, supported by lively acidity, supple tannins and an elegant body.
