Vintage details

The 2022 vintage in the heart of Marche was characterized by a balanced climate, with good temperature variations between day and night that favored optimal grape ripening.

Winemaking and aging

After fermentation, the wine rests on its fine lees for several months, refining its structure and enriching itself with softness and aromatic depth.
