About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from a 140 ha vineyard on the Borgo Guarini estate.

Vinification

Half of the grapes are harvested in early September and dried on racks for three weeks. The remaining grapes continue ripening on the vine to develop greater sweetness. Juice from the fresh and partially dried grapes is pressed, blended and fermented for one month.

Ageing

The wine rests in bottle for four months before release.
