It is obtained through the special “sur lies” process applied to the best batches of the vintage. The peculiar aromas given by this technique sometimes reveal themselves in a slightly unusual way compared to traditional Montepulciano during the aging in barrique. This has reminded us of the name of a playful elf of the Abruzzo tradition, that we imagine living hidden among our barrels and playing with the wine inside.
TASTING NOTES: full body and excellent persistence and balance. The “sur lies” technique gives the wine a natural stability, enriching the broad fruity complexity with very elegant nuances of flowers and spices, introducing a fresh and deep palate that is able to develop a very long finish and an intriguing drinkability.
