-
Harvesting and Selection: The grapes are carefully selected, destemmed, and crushed before fermentation.
-
Fermentation: Skin maceration and fermentation last approximately 25 days, according to the producer's product information.
-
Aging: Malolactic fermentation takes place in new oak barrels, followed by additional aging to develop complexity, structure, and aromatic depth.
-
Grape Origins: Montepulciano and Sangiovese are sourced from Abruzzo, while the other grape varieties are primarily associated with Puglia.
Note: Published aging periods differ across product descriptions. The official product information indicates 12 months, while some third-party descriptions of Edizione 20 mention 18 months. Please verify the exact vintage and technical sheet.
