About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vines were planted in 1987 at 90 m above sea level, on soils combining silt and clay.

Grapes

Garganega forms the blend, with a small proportion of Chardonnay included in some vintages.

Vinification

The grapes are usually harvested in mid-September. After destemming, they are gently pressed, and the must ferments in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation is prevented.

Ageing

The wine rests on its lees for four months in the same stainless-steel tanks.
