    Today

    At the Alanno estate, the winemaking position is anchored in a clear reading of old vines. Mattia Lauterio calls them "a fundamental part of the identity of this wine." The practical case is straightforward: "Vines that are over 50 years old naturally produce lower yields, but the fruit is much more concentrated and expressive." That logic extends below ground as well. "Their deep root systems allow them to explore different layers of the soil, bringing greater complexity and a stronger sense of place."
