About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in the Basalghelle, Fontanelle and Codroipo vineyards.

Vinification

Harvest takes place in the last week of August. At the winery, the grapes undergo a brief six-hour maceration before pressing, with a must yield of 50%. Fermentation proceeds at a controlled temperature of 10 °C for around 15 days.

Ageing

The wine rests on its lees for six months, followed by 120 days in bottle in the winery’s cellars.

Tasting profile

Refined and elegant.

Serving and pairing

Pairs with seafood, grilled fish, cold white meats, desserts and light appetisers.
