This wine comes from the Tormaresca's Masseria Maime estate near San Pietro Vernotico, a 1,235 acre estate close to the sea in the Salento DOC region. It runs along the Adriatic coast, creating a unique landscape of vineyards that are among woods and pine forests and continue until they merge with the sea.

A brief aging period in stainless steel tanks and a four month period of bottle aging preceded release.
