The grapes come from the historic single vineyard site of San Lucio, trained in the Alberello system, at an altitude of around 480 metres. The brownish-yellow, sandy-clayey soil is partly calcareous and contains some stone fragments. The wine is traditionally matured in 500-litre chestnut casks; no precise duration or fermentation details have been documented. The 2016 vintage brought cool summers and slow, complete ripening. The wine is powerful and rather austere in its youth because of its pronounced tannins, with ripe red fruit, herbs, liquorice, coffee and a persistent finish. Only a few thousand numbered bottles were produced.
