Winemaking: After destemming and crushing, the crushed grapes are transported to vitrified cement tanks. Fermentation takes place in contact with the skins at a temperature of 30 °C, not exceeding this, to encourage extraction. During fermentation and afterwards, for about ten days, the mass is stirred to enhance the contact between liquid (must/wine) and solid (skins). This expands and defines the structure of the finished wine, which intensifies with maturation first in steel, then in tonneaux for about six to eight months, and aging in the bottle for about six months.

The label: since ancient times, the oak has been considered a sacred and oracular tree. Its worship dates back to the prehistoric periods of Roman, Greek, and Celtic civilizations. It was favored by Gods and men, so much so that preserving a chip of this wood was thought to protect from misfortunes. This belief extends into our recent past when in Abruzzo, oak leaves struck by lightning were collected to give to poor recruits departing for war. It was believed that thanks to this talisman, the soldiers could not be harmed by bullets, based on the belief that where lightning has fallen once, it will not fall again.
