Terroir and viticulture

The vineyards extend over the coastal terraces of Ravello and Scala, located at an altitude of between 300 and 400 meters above sea level, with south/south-west exposure.

Harvesting and vinification

The harvest takes place manually in the third ten days of October, when the grapes reach their complete ripeness.

Subsequently, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is processed in new French oak barriques.
