Vineyard and terroir
The grapes grow in the “Le Novaje” vineyard in the province of Verona, at an altitude of 320 m, on marl, clay and limestone soils.
Vinification
Harvest takes place in the third week of September. The grapes undergo appassimento for 120 days in well-ventilated rooms before gentle crushing. Fermentation lasts 40–50 days in small stainless-steel tanks at no more than 15 °C and includes 10 days of cold skin maceration. Délestage is performed during fermentation using the “Ganimede” method. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barriques.
Ageing
The wine matures for 12 months in oak barrels, followed by six months in bottle in the winery’s cellars.
