The organically grown grapes come from the best plot of the Castello di Morcote vineyard, located on the Arbostora promontory and surrounded by Lake Ceresio, at 500 metres above sea level. The 40-year-old vines, facing south, have their roots in loose soil on a bedrock of pink porphyry, a quartzite of volcanic origin. Delicate vinification and maceration for 25-30 days with manual pumping over, ageing for at least 18 months in French oak barriques. An intense wine with balsamic and spicy notes, it expresses the elegance and refinement typical of the volcanic terroir of Morcote.
