About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards lie in the hills of Bure Alto on clay-limestone soils.

Vinification

The grapes are naturally dried for several months, then gently crushed and fermented at low temperature during winter. Fermentation is stopped before completion to retain the desired level of residual sugar.

Ageing

The wine matures in Slavonian oak barrels for at least one year, followed by several months in bottle.

Label / history

Annual production is approximately 1,000 bottles.
