The very old vines, the rich cherry blossoms and fir trees, chestnuts, nuts and broom, contribute to the aromatic profile of wine, which is derived from 100% Falanghina clones.

Harvest Note
The 2024 harvest was influenced by a dry, hot summer followed by September rains, which helped regulate grape ripening. While overall yields were slightly below average, the late-season weather favored sugar concentration and phenolic development, benefiting white varieties. Producers anticipate that the 2024 vintage will yield high-quality white wines with excellent aromatic profiles and aging potential.
