The grapes used to make this wine come from two different plots; La Morra, Santa Maria Bricco Chiesa where the vines are situated approximately two hundred meters above sea level with southeastern sunshine exposure. The average age of the vines is thirty years, and this plot is no more that five acres. The second plot is in Castiglione-Falletto Bricco Fiasco. Bricco means the peak of the hillside. This plot has southwestern exposure to the sun with forty-year-old vines and measures roughly five acres. The annual production is no more than twenty-five hundred cases. A Rigorous manual selection of the finest quality grapes is undergone followed by the fermentation and maceration in stainless steel tanks for twenty days under temperature control of twenty-eight degrees Celsius. The grapes from the two different plots are kept separate throughout the process. The ageing process in forty, sixty, and seventy hectoliter Slavonian and Austrian oak vats takes place over a thirty-month period. After this lengthy duration, the wines are blended in the spring and bottled at the end of the summer, then aged for another 6 months before being released onto the market. These wines are garnet in color; they have a unique aroma combination of truffles and dried rose petals, quite often-spiced notes.
