The Papessa (ie, woman pope), one of the most ancient farmsteads in the heard of the estate, is mentioned in many writings, some of which dating back to the late 16th centry; perhaps it owes its name to the presence of an influential countrywoman who lived on the premises. So is the win that bears its name: powerful and elegant with an exceptional consistency. 15-20 days of fermentation with the skins at a temperature of 28-30 °C with numerous delestage; followed by malolactic fermentation in French oak barriques for 12 months
