About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
One third of the fruit comes from hillside vineyards in the Girlan cru. These parcels lie at 450–500 m and contain vines between 10 and 15 years old. The remaining two thirds are grown near Cortaccia in Bassa Atesina. Mineral-rich gravel and clay soils shape the wine's character.
Grapes
Gewürztraminer.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand and carried in small containers to protect them from excessive pressure. Whole bunches are pressed gently, after which the must is clarified by natural sedimentation. Fermentation proceeds in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation is avoided.
Ageing
The wine remains on its lees in stainless steel for eight months.
