Le uve, provenienti da vigneti di proprietà in agro di Salice Salentino (Lecce), sono state raccolte manualmente nel mese di settembre e accuratamente selezionate prima della pigiatura. Il mosto ha effettuato una lunga macerazione sulle bucce in serbatoi di acciaio inox a temperatura controllata per più di 20 giorni, per poi svolgere la fermentazione mallolattica. Il vino così ottenuto si affina per 12 mesi in piccole botti, per poi essere imbottigliato e completare l’affinamento in bottiglia per ulteriori 12 mesi.

The presence of very low amount of red grapes, gives wine anthocyanins and so colour. After 40 days of alcoholic fermen-tation at low temperature (13-14°C), before total sugars depletion, fermenting must is transferred in stainless steel pressure tank (11-12°C); when the residual sugar reaches 50 g per litre, temperatu-re is decrease (<10°C) to stop fermentation. Wine is aging on lees with continue bâttonage in these pressure tanks, in order to obtain a stable wine. Very low amount of sulphur dioxide added before bottling.
