The vineyard is located on the volcanic hills in the south of Rome. The vineyards were completely replanted from 1990 to 1992 at a density of 5,500 vines per hectare to limit vigour, thus concentrating the flavours in the grapes, and the 25-year-old vines yield 80 quintals (8,000kg) per hectare. The vines are planted at an elevation of 300 metres above sea level and are orientated towards the south-east to maximise sunlight exposure. The linear rows of vines are cordon spur pruned, which suits the warm, dry climate. The volcanic soils are layered with granular tuffs, rich in mineral elements, producing elegant and fresh wines with a distinctive character. The hand-harvested grapes are picked at optimal ripeness.
