Produced by Banfi through the adoption of \u003cstrong\u003esustainable agricultural practices\u003c\/strong\u003e, it represents a faithful expression of its territory of origin. The vines grow in well-structured soils, rich in calcium and clay, which favour aromatic concentration and the structure of the grape clusters.

The wine then matures for two years in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, a fundamental stage for the integration of spicy notes, and rests in the bottle for at least six months. This ageing process stabilises its complex texture, giving it further smoothness. It is recommended to decant it for about an hour before serving to fully enhance its sensory profile.
