Terroir: The Aglianico vineyards are located in a volcanic, hilly territory with a unique microclimate that alternates warm days with cool nights, favoring a slow and concentrated maturation of the grapes. The soil gives the wine a distinctive minerality, which is reflected in the tannic structure and longevity.

Vinification: Vinification involves a long maceration in contact with the skins and aging for at least 18 months in French oak barriques, followed by further aging in the bottle. This process results in a complex aromatic bouquet and a soft, round tannic structure.
