About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
Sgarzon comes from the estate-owned 2.5 ha Vigneto Sgarzon in Mezzolombardo, at the heart of the Campo Rotaliano. The site has alluvial soil dominated by sand and a cooler local climate. Its particularly vigorous vines give Teroldego an expression marked by unusual freshness.

Ageing
The 8-month period in tinajas serves as both fermentation and maturation, with the wine remaining on its skins throughout.
