Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come exclusively from Podere Massoni, the estate’s oldest historic vineyard, in Peschiera del Garda south of Lake Garda. The south-facing site lies at an average altitude of 80 m on Cretaceous clay soil. The Guyot-trained vines average 50 years old, carry 8–10 buds per plant and yield 110 quintals per hectare.
Grapes
100% Trebbiano di Lugana.
Vinification
Harvest takes place during the final ten days of September. The grapes are softly pressed, then fermented for 15–20 days in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled 16–18 °C.
Ageing
The wine matures for 4–5 months in stainless steel, followed by 2–3 months in bottle before release.
Tasting profile

Serving and pairing
Serve at 9–10 °C. Its pairings extend from the aperitif to white meats, with a particular affinity for lake fish.
