Grillo from 0.2ha in Contrada Abbadessa, planted in 1989 in guyot, 140m above sea level. Harvest late August/early September. The grapes were destemmed/crushed and direct-pressed (no maceration). Fermentation and aging was in 54L glass demijohns. Aged 7 months in demijohn and the a year in bottle. Made only in magnums. A mere 280 1.5L bottles made (8 demijohns). Le Dame means "The Ladies" but it is also a play on damigiane (demijohns).
