Produced from carefully selected grapes grown in the vineyards of Contrada Perrone, where this iconic variety finds its ideal expression. The winemaking process includes cryomaceration at 2–3°C for 36 hours to enhance aromatic extraction, followed by fermentation with controlled maceration to preserve fruit character. After gentle pressing, the wine undergoes short sur-lie ageing before maturing in stainless steel for 12 months, maintaining purity and vibrancy.
