Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The fruit comes from selected vineyards in Mortegliano, Udine, in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The vines are trained to free spurred cordon on alluvial soils rich in skeleton, with north–south exposure. Integrated farming is used to limit environmental impact. The vineyards also have underground drip micro-irrigation.
Grapes
86% Glera and 14% Pinot Nero.
Vinification
After soft pressing, Glera is vinified as white wine with cold fermentation, while Pinot Nero undergoes red-wine vinification. The wines are blended before secondary fermentation in autoclave for about three months according to the Charmat method. Filtration and cold bottling follow.
