Complex and enveloping, dominated by aromas of dried apricots, dried figs and dates. Scents of toasted almonds mingle with notes of cinnamon and cloves. As the wine breathes, it reveals an intense aroma of chestnut honey.

The grapes are selected by hand and laid out on the racks. The drying process lasts a few months and allows the berries to dehydrate, concentrating the sugars and aromatic compounds. After pressing with the traditional press, the must is transferred to the barrels for slow, natural fermentation using indigenous yeast. Ageing continues in the same barrels for at least four years in rooms exposed to strong seasonal temperature fluctuations, which positively influence the complexity of the aromas.

Recent upgrades include a brand new building with energy-efficient underground cellars and cutting-edge equipment. Its best vineyards are “Il Corno” and the upper part of “Poggio Selvale”.
