Grapes were sourced from the estate Fontane vineyard at 230 meters in elevation consisting of red soil of medium consistency; made up of subalpine sands composed of limestone and silica. Vines average 12 years of age and all grapes were hand harvested. Spontaneous fermentation lasts ten to fifteen days in amphorae on the skins with indigenous yeast. It is then aged in amphorae for 6 months followed by 3 months in the bottle before release. Pithos Bianco spends about 240 days on the skins in amphora.
