Vineyard
The vineyard, laid out in small terraces and measuring only 1.2 hectares, is located on a steep slope on Giglio Island, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. This, relatively speaking, very young island was formed 5 million years ago. The mineral-rich and sandy soil consists of crumbled granite. You will find many iron deposits there.
Winemaking
The harvesting is done by hand, during which a strict selection already takes place. The bunches are destemmed and placed in stainless steel vats where the skins remain in contact with the juice during the temperature-controlled fermentation. For the 12-month maturation on fine lees, previously used barriques and earthenware amphorae are used.
