Vineyard and winery notes

Terraced vineyards with alberello (bush) training. Hand harvested with a production of less than 180 grams of grapes per plant. After maceration in conical oak tanks, it ripens for over two years in barriques of French oak (Allier and Tronçais) and then for three years in the bottle.


Winemaker notes

"Baron Felice Spitaleri's passion for the noble French varietals inspired us to bring back to life this wine. It was in fact Felice, my ancestor and founder of the winery, who first planted these varietals on our estate in the mid XIXth century and the incredible complexity obtained is the result of the adaptation of such vines to a unique volcanic terroir."
(Arnaldo Spitaleri)
