This single vineyard Riserva wine from La Staffa is only produced in the best years. Selva di Sotto is the name of the parcel; at 500 meters it is the highest vineyard in Staffolo. Planted in 1974, the vineyard has very different soil from La Staffa’s other vineyards, richer in clay, poorer, and rockier. Riccardo studies the terroir of every part of his vineyards carefully, which is why he vinifies every parcel separately before creating the blend for his Classico Superiore wine. Over time he came to see that the Selva di Sotto vineyard held the potential to give a wine of exceptional elegance. With his first, 2015 vintage, he has achieved this result.

Straw yellow color with greenish hues. The bouquet is intense, refined and persistent with notes of yellow flowers, minerality, with underlying scents of almonds. The taste is dry and smooth, elegant and gentle with a refreshing acidity and a velvety finish.
