We are dealing with a product in which the Massa Trabaria Terroir of the Vado hills facing south, brings out the best of the grapes brought to maturity between the end of October and early November; this is the same soil composition of the Truffle. The grapes, aptly processed, put through used Barriques, are followed by at least 12-18 months in the bottle, and seal within them the full array of local history and tradition.
Low yield per stalk, staggered harvesting, a variety of different grapes combined in fermentation (the peasant's wine), the greatest care in the cellar... there are no secrets to obtain Alvaro ... only great passion.
