This wine is a blend of varieties originating from the Mediterranean Basin— 50% Alicante Nero, 30% Sangiovese, 10% Carignano, 9% Mourvedre, 1% Alicante Bouschet—sourced from vineyards at 180-250 meters above sea level, the lower and more coastal-influenced vineyards of Ampeleia. The fruit was harvested from the 10th to the 25th of September at yields of 60hl/ha. The varieties were harvested and vinified separately. A small part of the harvest undergoes carbonic maceration (10%), the rest is either done whole berry or crushed. Macerations lasted 5-7 days. Aged 6 months in cement tanks. 165,000 1L bottles produced.
