Production Details Hand-harvested grapes were sorted again at the winery and destemmed, with the producer shop specifying that a portion of whole, undestemmed clusters was retained. Grapes entered wooden cuves without pumping and underwent a short maceration, followed by spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts using remontage only and no pigeage. The wine matured for 16 months in new and used barriques and was bottled unfiltered.

Production Details A James Suckling note for the 2023 release states that it came from organically grown grapes and was bottled unfiltered after 18 months in barrels. The source contains an unresolved site-elevation discrepancy: Galloni gives 240 meters, whereas the vendor's own note says nearly 300 meters.
Tasting Notes James Suckling: cool and sleek, with red currant, dried strawberry, fine-grained tannins and mineral freshness. Antonio Galloni: tart berries, subtle smokiness, finesse, purity and a fine-boned, bright, elegant palate.
Critics Ratings Heiner Lobenberg 96–97/100; James Suckling 93/100; Antonio Galloni 93/100
