It rests on a very ancient layer -a paleosol- called 'caranto'. The climate is generally temperate and humid thanks to the proximity of the sea, but there are strong temperature excursions due to the alternation of cool (Bora) and hot-humid (Scirocco) winds. Vinification: After destemming and crushing, vinification takes place in steel with daily pumping over and maceration on the skins for 5-6 days at a temperature of 25-28° C. This is followed by malolactic fermentation and refinement in cement tanks. Tasting: It has an intense ruby red colour with purple reflections. The nose expresses floral notes of rose, immediately giving way to fruity hints of strawberry jam. In the mouth it is soft, balanced, good body with soft tannins.
