About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vines grow on the hills around Trento at elevations above 500 metres, in well-exposed, well-ventilated vineyards. Rhine Riesling is hardy enough to withstand cold winters and prefers a cool yet sunny climate. The variety came to Italy in the 1800s from the Rhine or Moselle Valley and found a natural home in the best areas of Trentino-Alto Adige.

Vinification

After a short cold maceration, the grapes are gently pressed to extract the juice without damaging the skins. Once settled, the juice ferments in stainless steel tanks under strict temperature control.

Ageing

The wine rests on the fine lees for at least 6 months before bottling.

Tasting profile

An elegant white wine.
