| Winery | The vineyard is located on the volcanic hills in the south of Rome. The vineyards were completely replanted from 1990 to 1992, at a density of 5,500 vines per hectare, to limit vigour, thus concentrating the flavours in the grapes. The 25-year-old vines yield 80 quintals (8,000kg) per hectare. The vines are planted at 300 metres above sea level and orientated towards the southeast to maximise sunlight exposure. The linear rows of vines are cordon spur pruned, which suits the warm, dry climate. The volcanic soils are layered with granular tuffs, rich in mineral elements, producing elegant and fresh wines with a distinctive character. This wine is a blend of Shiraz and Cesanese, the latter of which is considered by many to be one of Lazio's most interesting grape varieties, producing deeply coloured wines with black fruit characters and delicate earthy overtones. The hand-harvested grapes are picked at optimal ripeness. |
