The Pecorino grapes come from 1 hectare of vineyard raised in the Abruzzo pergola system planted in our Pianella estate around the year 2000 and from 1 hectare of "espalier" trained vineyard in the Loreto Aprutino estate, planted in 2011. The grapes are harvested by hand in the very early hours of the morning and are immediately transported to the cellar in small boxes. Afterwards the grapes are pressed, softly pressed and the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. At the end of fermentation, a small part of the mass is decanted into French tonneaux from 2009 for a brief refinement of 3 months. At the end of February the wines are brought together and bottled to continue aging in the bottle for about 2 months.
