Production Details Fruit from Contrada Chirchiaro was trellis-trained and Guyot-pruned. Winemaking included approximately 12 hours of skin maceration, soft pressing and stainless-steel fermentation, followed by 3 months in 500-litre tonneaux, more than 6 months on fine lees in stainless-steel tanks, and a further 12 months in bottle. The suggested serving range is 10–12°C. The producer characterizes 2022 as warm and dry and says harvest occurred a few days earlier than in prior years.
