Harvest begins during the first decade of November, so the bunches undergo a little natural dehydration and as a result they express themselves is an exceptional concentration of color, tannins and polyphenols.

SOIL
Abruzzo’s geographical diversity plays a pivotal role in its wine production. The juxtaposition of the Adriatic coastline with the Apennine mountain range creates a diverse microclimate. This, in tandem with the region’s varied soil composition—rich in clay, limestone, and unique minerals—provides an ideal environment for grape cultivation.
CLIMATE
The climate is rather mild on the Apennine side facing the Adriatic, more continental than of the internal basins. Abruzzo is known for its varied climate, so there is ample rainfall and sunshine, as well as an arid climate on its coast and a continental climate inland.
