About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from vineyards on the hillsides and mountain slopes of Trentino, at an altitude of 800 metres.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand, destemmed and gently crushed. A brief cold maceration is followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature. After stabilization, secondary fermentation takes place in large tanks according to the Charmat method.

Ageing

The wine spends a short period stabilizing before undergoing lees ageing in large tanks.

Tasting profile

Delicate and well balanced.
