About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in the hilly Monte Tenda cru, whose predominantly limestone soil is soft, crumbly and particularly easy to work.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand into small boxes and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 14–16 °C.

Ageing

The wine matures in stainless-steel vats for 6–8 months.

Tasting profile

Elegant, with the character of the Soave terroir.
