Production Details The producer's 2022-labelled table records 1.5 hectares, short Guyot and Capanno Volturino training, an estate-grown fava-bean cover crop, 12 months in 500-litre tonneaux, a serving range of 16–18°C, 15 minutes' decanting and sulfites stated as a maximum of 2 mg/L. It specifies 12 months of bottle maturation, while Volio's sheet linked expressly to SCEG 2022 instead specifies 6 months in bottle after the same 12 months in new 500-litre tonneaux. Volio additionally describes organic cultivation, manual harvesting into small baskets, cellar selection and whole-berry processing.
