"Con Vento" embodies the influence of the Mediterranean winds that sweep through the Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc vineyards. The cool air and humidity brought by the breeze moderates temperature extremes, which helps to preserve acidity and prevent over-ripening of grapes. The wine evokes this coastal breeze, bringing both a saltiness and freshness to the glass.
The vineyards of Castello del Terriccio feature rocky, fossil-rich soils that have been shaped over millennia. Although barren, these mineral-packed soils—rich in copper, iron, and magnesium—offer excellent drainage, forcing the vines to dig deep for nutrients and reducing excessive vigor. This balance leads to grapes that develop optimal acidity and aromatic complexity, resulting in wines that are both elegant and expressive of their terroir.
