We selected and harvested the grapes from the most suitable part

of the vineyard in Contrada Sciaranuova, covering approximately

half a hectare. The clusters were pressed and entirely fermented

in a 25hl Slavonian oak barrel at a controlled temperature. Here,

after fermentation was completed, the wine “rested” and evolved

on its fine lees for a year.

Contrada Sciaranuova covers about 14 ha, of which 4.9 are planted

with vines, with the remaining surrounding area all chestnut groves.

Spurred pruned and guyot.

Soils of volcanic origin belong to two different lava formations that occurred between 15,000 and 4,000 years ago.
