Winemaking
The hillside vineyards are located on 320 hectares of rich limestone soil in Monteprandone and Spinetoli located in the Rosso Piceno and Falerio DOC zones.

Alcoholic fermentation of the grapes takes place in stainless steel tanks frequent pumping over to extract colour and flavour from the grape skins. This is followed by malolactic fermentation in concrete tanks to soften natural acidity and enhance mouthfeel. Ageing in used wood casks for at least 4 months and depth and subtle
