About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in Pozzolengo, in the province of Brescia, on moraine hills with fertile, finely gravelly clay soils. They come from a single plot facing east to west, which receives sunlight throughout the day. In these soil and climate conditions the grapes reach ideal ripeness and the berries turn golden.

Grapes

The grape is Turbiana, the name under which the text gives the variety.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in September and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks.

Ageing

After fermentation the wine ages on its lees in stainless steel tanks.

Serving and pairing

Suggested with main courses, white meat, fish and fresh cheeses.
