Among the terraces of Sciaranuova , and on the edge of the sciara formed by the historic eruption of 1614 which lasted for ten years, the smallest plot contains 3,000 plants of Pinot Nero. The variety has been cultivated in the area for centuries, though not in a widespread or consistent manner.
The result is an absolutely original version of this aristocratic vine.

Vinification
The grapes are picked into crates, selected by hand and sent to be destalked, without being pressed. After inoculation they ferment in open tonneaux, at around 22°C, with gentle manual crushing, followed by 12 days lying on the skins, and pressing in a basket press.
