WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are hand-harvested in early September from clay-limestone soils in Puglia. Fermentation is conducted under strict temperature control in stainless steel tanks to preserve the vibrant primary fruit characteristics. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 4 to 6 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels, including traditional barriques, to add complexity, roundness, and sweet spice notes before bottling.
