Production area Selected grapes in the vineyards of Ascoli Piceno Fermentation The selection of the grapes, harvested in mid-September, is very scrupulous; the soft pressing is followed by an immediate drop in temperature to facilitate the decanting of the must. Fermentation is started and managed with temperature control (14-15°C) in steel tanks. At the end, the wine ages in steel until February, at a temperature of about 10°C to keep the aromatic heritage intact. 100% Pecorino grape variety Alcohol content 13.5% VOL First bottled harvest 2006 Otherwise, it averages 200-300 meters above sea level.
