Winemaker Notes
Sandy, vulcanic soil, rich in minerals, vineyard at 750 meters above sea level, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous vulcanic yeast, no filtration and clarification, ages for 48 months in steel cask, than 12 in oak barrel and in the bottle.
The 35 years old vineyards risen as sapling vine, the 800 mt altitude and the volcanic soil with its infinite minerality can produce a very deep wine. While the decision to have spontaneous fermentations, indigenous yeasts and long skin contact give a soulful and expressive wine.
