About this wine

Vinification

The grapes macerated for four days with natural yeasts. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation took place in Slavonian oak barriques.

Ageing

The wine matured for 11 months in barriques and tonneaux, followed by 12 months in stainless-steel tanks and at least 12 months in bottle.

Tasting profile

An intensely flavoured wine with lively acidity, fruity aromas and a balance of sugar and acidity.

Vintage notes

The relatively warm 2007 growing season encouraged a balanced development of sugar and acidity. The vineyards of Collio provided distinctive ripening conditions.
