About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in Roverè della Luna and Valle dei Laghi, in the mountainous region of Trentino. The soils are well drained and the climate is sub-Mediterranean, which allows the crop to ripen in ideal conditions.

Vinification

The grapes are pressed as whole bunches. The must is vinified without skin contact, so that the wine does not take on a pink colour. Fermentation takes place at 20 °C.

Ageing

The wine ages for 4 months in steel tanks, then is chilled and bottled.

It is based in northeastern Italy and supports almost 4,500 small wineries. It produces 65% of the wine made in Trentino each year, and its vineyards cover 7,000 ha.
