For four generations, the Napolini family has run the eponymous winery in the heart of the Montefalco DOCG hills, from cultivation to sale. This wine is left to macerate on the skins for approximately 30-35 days, then aged in barriques for 6 months and finally in Slavonian oak barrels for another 18 months. It then ages in the bottle for approximately 9 months.
