Costa Bassa Valtellina Superiore Valgella DOCG

Vineyard and terroir

The Costa Bassa vineyard—its name means “Low Bank”—begins at the foot of the valley and rises to 450 m above sea level. The climate promotes even ripening, producing grapes with low acidity, soft tannins and thin skins.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, usually in the second half of October. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation in oak barrels.

Ageing

The wine matures in oak barrels for 12 months.
