The "panca" soil is typical of the region: a sedimentary formation composed entirely of clayey marl alternating with layers of sandstone. The "panca" exhibits low fertility but a good capacity for water retention, imparting unique characteristics to the grapes and the wine, such as full-bodied flavor and color, tannins, and minerality. The vineyards are located on terraces at the Ronchi (hilltops), and their perfect exposure allows for the full ripening of the grapes. Ventilation is excellent thanks to the bora (a local atmospheric wind) and the winds from the Adriatic Sea. The significant temperature difference between day and night results in grapes that are more aromatic and sweeter.
The grapes are harvested by hand between the end of August and the first ten days of September, in crates which, once taken to the winery, are immediately processed at low temperatures, with a yield limited to 50% to obtain a white must from black grapes. The must then undergoes a first alcoholic fermentation and remains on the lees for 24 months.
The color is a bright golden yellow. Meticulous and persistent perlage.
The aroma is intense and persuasive, with clear hints of small fruits and nuances of clove.
The flavor on the palate is full and decisive, with spicy notes; the flavor lasts a long time and is very satisfying.
