Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The wine is made from selected Molinara grapes grown in estate vineyards in the hills of Montecchia di Crosara. The soils are gravelly and predominantly limestone. Harvest begins in early September, and the yield is 90 quintals per hectare.
Grapes

Vinification
The grapes undergo a short maceration on their skins for one to two days, followed by the first fermentation in stainless-steel tanks. In the spring after harvest, the still wine is bottled with added yeast for its second fermentation.
Ageing
The wine matures on its yeast lees in bottle for approximately 24 months, gaining flavour and complexity, and is then disgorged and labelled.
