About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards are in Teglio, on sandy, silty soils.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, usually in the second half of October, and gently pressed at the winery. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place in steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine rests for six months in stainless-steel vats.

Label / history

“Tei” is the local dialect form of Teglio, the municipality where the vineyards are located.
