- Grape: Greco 100%.
- Denomination: D.O.C.G.

- Harvest System: manual.
- Vinification: static settling of the must after soft pressing of the whole bunches to obtain the flower must; inoculation with selected yeasts on the clear mass, fermentation and aging in steel; the vinification and aging on the fine lees for 4 months takes place entirely in stainless steel vats.
- Color: intense and compact straw yellow.
- Nose: typical of altitude wines, green apple, jasmine, cedar and wild honey scents. A well-integrated mineral and mentholated note in the background. The young wine has primary aromas which after 5/10 years evolve into fascinating puffs of hydrocarbons.
