The vineyards sit on a plateau at an altitude of 210 meters above sea level and are farmed entirely according to certified organic practices.
Grape Varieties: 100% Primitivo.

Tasting Notes: Deep colour of bright ruby red. Intense bursts born of the fruitiness of the grape with hints of prunes and Marasca cherries in jam, whispers of minerals and hints of cinnamon. Voluminous impact, but fine, rich and balanced, with hints of berries and spice to finish.
