NOTESIl Lauro comes from a selection of grapes from the historic Mogliette vineyard planted in 1969 on the loamy soil of a windy west-facing hillside. The longevity of the vineyard and the particular location allow a late harvest and the achievement of an excellent balance between acidity and sugar content. The historicity of the planting, the management of the vines, the selection of the bunches during the harvest and the maniacal attention in all the processing phases allow us to obtain a full-bodied, velvety and decidedly refined wine.

AGEINGMatured in steel tanks with prolonged batonnage for a period of 18/20 months.
