About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from Appiano, from vineyards at 420 m above sea level. The vines grow on loamy, sandy soils covered with fine gravel, on south- and southwest-facing slopes with gradients of 10–45°.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in mid-September and fermented in stainless-steel tanks at approximately 20 °C.

Ageing

The wine remains in the same stainless-steel tanks with natural yeast for six months.

Tasting profile

Delicate and elegant on the palate.
