TERROIR
The grapes come from a selection of vineyards spread across the different terroirs of the Janare estate, with the exception of the alluvial valley floors. Just like con- ducting an orchestra, where it is the conductor’s task to guarantee absolute harmony to the whole by ensur- ing that each component gives its best, here the work consists of selecting, in each vintage, the best grapes from different soils, morphologies and microclimates – the volcanic soils of the ignimbrite, the river terraces and the ancient black soil of the marly hills – with the result of unfailing constancy of character and quality, which our valley is always able to ensure.
