In the Romagna dialect, *Pirona* means "spinning top"—a reference to the shape of Georgian *qvevri*, the terracotta vessels in which this wine ferments on the skins for 31 days. During maceration, the cap remains intact and unbroken, allowing the wine to follow its own natural course. After racking, the wine ages in stainless steel tanks until late spring. In the glass, it displays a golden yellow hue with amber highlights. The nose offers notes of dried apricot, honey, aromatic herbs, and orange zest. On the palate, it is full-bodied, textured, and balanced, featuring pleasant acidity, delicate tannins, and a long, savory finish.
