Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from Gorgo’s certified-organic vineyards in the historic Valpolicella wine region. The estate’s vineyards cover 53 ha on the moraine soils of gentle slopes around Custoza, east of Lake Garda. The lake creates a mild microclimate.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand, with only the ripest, healthiest fruit selected. They undergo appassimento for three months in a well-ventilated room, losing 35–40% of their weight as their sugars and phenolic compounds become concentrated. In January of the following year, the dried grapes are gently pressed and macerated on their skins for 30 days.
Ageing
The wine matures for 36 months in 50 hl oak casks, followed by at least six months in bottle.
Tasting profile
Complex, elegant and velvety, with excellent structure.
