Obtained from selected Cococciola grapes, it carries out a spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with the help of a "pied de cuve" obtained from grapes harvested in the vineyard a week before the harvest. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out in terracotta amphorae and subsequently, shortly before the end, the product is bottled. The wine continues aging in horizontally placed bottles for at least one year and, once the “disgorging” moment has been reached, the coarse lees are removed before being marketed. The wine has a straw yellow color, with a slight haze given by the residue not removed by filtration. On the nose, light and fresh floral and citrus scents, on the palate it is perceptible a clear freshness, minerality accompanied by a delicate effervescence due to the fermentation concluded in the bottle.

Our Cococciola comes from 1 hectare of Abruzzo pergola-trained vineyard planted in 1985 on the Loreto Aprutino estate. Its large greenish-colored clusters are harvested by hand and immediately taken to the cellar to be crushed-destemmed and gently pressed. The fermentation of the must takes place inside stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature with the help of selected yeasts, and finally the wine is aged for about 4 months before bottling.
