About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The estate’s 65 ha of vineyards lie in the Alpine foothills of Treviso, between the hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. The vines grow on sunny, south-facing mountain slopes. The estate uses only renewable energy and keeps pesticide use to a minimum.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in September and gently pressed. The juice ferments slowly with yeast at 10 °C for four months. A second fermentation then takes place in autoclaves at 15–16 °C, followed by cold stabilisation and microfiltration.

Ageing

After bottling, the wine rests in the cellar for one month.

Label / history

The vineyards have belonged to the Collalto family for more than 1,000 years.
