Our winery joined the Historic Buttafuoco Club in 2001 and decided to devote the Costera Vineyard to the production of this fine, exciting and unique still red wine, definitely our flagship; the wine comes from a careful selection of grapes at harvest, after several thinnings of the bunches in June and July, to obtain the best possible product. It comes from a blend of Croatina, Barbera, Uva Rara and Ughetta di Canneto grapes, matures in wooden barrels for about 16 months and is put on the market at least 36 months after harvest.
