About this wine

Grapes

Pinot Grigio is blended with an addition of Pinot Nero.

Vinification

After harvest, the grapes undergo around 48 hours of maceration before pressing. The juice ferments in stainless-steel tanks for 10 days at a controlled temperature of 14–15°C. The second fermentation follows the Martinotti method under temperature-controlled conditions. Just before bottling, a special liqueur made from berry extract is added to the cuvée to enhance its aromatic character.

Ageing

The wine rests on its lees for around five months.

Tasting profile

Elegant and aromatic, with a pronounced bouquet.
