Produced since 1990 exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes it is, in a sense, the alter ego of Cervaro: together they represent the two different expressions of the complex and refined soul of Castello della Sala. The 4 hectares of vineyard from which it is produced are located at over 400 meters above sea level on calcareous soils rich in fossils with sedimentary sand that date back to the Pliocene.
