For La Stropa the grape drying process is masterful, full of detail and without the use of technology. Strictly selected and healthy grapes are left for about 3 months in small wooden crates which are placed on top of each other in a well-ventilated and cool environment on the roof of the winery. From there on, fermentation in oak tanks is spontaneous and...

Winemaking of La Digoine follows the same philosophy as La Fortune with about 2/3 use of whole bunches in the oak winemakers. The maceration time is no more than two weeks and the wine will be aged in barrels aged 2 to 5 years.

Orange Santameriana triggers explosions in both the nose and mouth. And while the aromas escalate to remind you of peel, bergamot, sweet orange and orange, in the mouth you are confronted with intense and disparate elements. It's as if a supercharger has exploded the overall taste experience. The tannins are the perfect wrapping to the oily texture of the...

A different approach to the Savvatiano variety characterized by maturity, complexity, tasty tensions and the interplay between primary, secondary (from the lees) and tertiary (ageing) aromas.

Mantilari, a difficult and demanding variety, manages to give its best here. Its vinification results in an easy-to-drink wine, considering the character of the variety.
