About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in Veneto.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in September and October when slightly overripe, then destemmed. Maceration lasts 15 days to extract colour and tannic structure. Fermentation and malolactic fermentation take place in barrels at a controlled temperature of 25–27 °C.

Ageing

The wine rests in oak barrels for 3–4 months.
