From an east-facing site in the Perno MGA at 350–400 metres, planted in 1948 and rooted in the Lequio Formation—medium-textured soils of alternating sandy and clayey marls.

The fruit was hand-harvested and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel, with a maceration of around 12–14 days. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged in oak for 24 months, then transferred to concrete for further natural stabilisation.

Reviews

"Fresh, floral and almost vinous style, with restrained red cherries, violets and a touch of spice. The attack is firm, with velvety yet ripe tannins that turn a little dusty on the finish at the moment, but balanced by fruit concentration and refreshing acidity. Very classic on the palate, with a slightly austere but characterful structure. It will be released only in 2027. Try from then."
