About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Durella and Garganega grapes grow in the Alpone Valley in Veneto.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand into small crates to preserve their integrity, then gently pressed at the winery. The must ferments at a controlled 14–16 °C. Secondary fermentation takes place in an autoclave using the Charmat method.

Ageing

The wine remains on its lees in autoclave for at least three months.

Tasting profile

The delicate, fresh aroma combines fruit and floral notes. The palate is soft and lively, with subtle fruit, hints of toasted bread and fine, persistent bubbles.

Serving and pairing

Suitable as an aperitif.
