A skillful blend of native Lazio grape varieties, crafted with a respectful approach to enhance the fruit’s sun-drenched character and the mineral notes gifted by the limestone soil. A short skin maceration for 18 hours is followed by seven months of aging in fiberglass to preserve aromatic purity.
