Origin of the grapes: Altavilla Irpina (AV).
Exposure and Altitude: South-West, 350-450 m. above sea level

Vinification and ageing: grapes are submitted to a soft pressing of whole bunches to obtain the free-run must, under carefully monitored temperature and using selected native yeasts. The vinification and the ageing on the fine lees for 6 months takes place entirely in stainless steel tanks. Before being bottled, the wine is lightly filtered and kept at cellar temperature until considered ready to be marketed.

From FARELLA An opulent wine that will reward cellaring. Dry and rich in oak, with ripe, jammy blackberry, cherry and currant flavors. The acid-tannin structure is especially fine, lending the wine elegance. 92 pts. Wine Enthusiast
