In Carovigno, it finds a unique equilibrium: the warmth of the South meets the fresh breezes rising from the Adriatic Sea.

It is a late-ripening, demanding variety that sinks its roots into calcareous, well-drained soils with natural determination. Its compact clusters and thick-skinned berries guard a significant phenolic richness, built slowly throughout the growing cycle.

In the vineyard, it demands time, space, and respect.
It does not care for excess.
It thrives on restraint and careful attention.

It is a solid, almost austere presence that dialogues with the intense light of Carovigno without ever losing its identity.
