Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes are grown at the Santa Cristina estate in Peschiera del Garda, on the southern side of Lake Garda. The vineyards have clay and chalk soils.
Grapes
The blend comprises 80–85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15–20% Cabernet Franc.
Vinification
After harvest, the grapes ferment for two weeks in horizontal stainless-steel tanks. Frequent pumping over extracts colour and tannins from the skins.
Ageing
The wine matures for 18 months in a combination of new and previously used barrels, followed by a further few months in stainless-steel tanks. It then ages in bottle for at least six months.
Tasting profile
Powerful and polished, with a complex, layered aroma.
