Vineyard and terroir
The original Massifitti vineyard covers approximately 2 ha, faces south and lies at 300 m. Its volcanic soil is particularly rich in large, compact basaltic rocks, a feature reflected in the Massifitti name. The vineyard was planted in 2006 using clones selected from old Trebbiano di Soave vines in collaboration with the Faculty of Agriculture laboratories at the University of Milan and Professor Attilio Scienza. Further vineyards were subsequently established on other parts of the hills, bringing Suavia’s total Trebbiano di Soave area to approximately 6 ha.
Grapes

The wine matures on its fine lees in steel tanks for 15 months and then refines in bottle for 12 months.

Label / history
Massifitti grew out of Suavia’s project to recover and investigate Trebbiano di Soave, an old variety described as nearly forgotten and often misunderstood or confused. The wine is intended to express both the variety’s character and the basaltic terrain of Fittà.
