The wine is made from 100% Aglianico grapes from a single vineyard facing south-east in the municipality of Montemiletto. Quattro Confini (four borders) is the name of the vineyard due to its confines within four municipalities. Production begins by crushing and destemming the grapes, maceration for a few days, with daily pumping over until racking. Fermentation of the must in stainless steel tanks, then 30% will mature in barriques and the remaining 70% in steel, for approximately one year, then bottled.
Integrated certified wine by “SQNPI” (Italian Quality System of Integrated Production).
