WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Vermentino grapes for this wine are sourced from hillside vineyards in the Colli di Luni region. The winemaking process involves a cold maceration on the skins for approximately 8 hours, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine then undergoes aging on its fine lees in stainless steel for about 4 months. This approach is guided by the producer's philosophy of expressing the character of traditional grape varieties and the richness of their territory.
