Vineyard and terroir
The grapes grow in the vineyards of the Santa Cristina Gela estate, where burdock is abundant.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-October, destemmed and gently pressed. A pre-fermentation stage lasts 24–36 hours at a controlled temperature of 15–16 °C, followed by 22–25 days of alcoholic fermentation and maceration.
Ageing
Depending on the vintage, the wine ages for 18–28 months in French oak barrels.
Tasting profile
Bright and expressive.
Label / history
“Carduni” means “burdock” in Italian. The plant’s abundance in the vineyards inspired Paolo Marzotto to grow Petit Verdot there.
