Vineyard and terroir
The grapes are grown on the hills of Fumane and San Pietro in Cariano, in the estate vineyards of Rasso, Monte Tenda and Monte Crosetta. Their soils have a high rock content. Planting density ranges from 3,000 to 5,000 vines per hectare, with Guyot, single-pergola and double-pergola training. The approximate yield is 7 tonnes per hectare.
Grapes
Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara.
Vinification

Ageing
The wine matures for at least 12 months in wooden barrels, followed by several months in bottle in the estate cellar before release.
