Grown on volcanic soil near the Tyrrhenian Sea, the grapes benefit from the unique terroir that contributes to their complex flavor profile. The winemaking process includes careful hand-harvesting to preserve the grape’s integrity, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks to retain the wine’s fresh and fruity character.
