- Vinification
- Made like the regular Vigna Moncucco (whole-cluster pressing, Dutch-bag filtration, about 10 days of low-temperature fermentation stopped by chilling, some months on fine lees). The difference is the long ageing: at least 60 months in bottle before release, after some months in steel. A few hundred bottles of each vintage are held back for this.
