About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in clay and gravel soils in the Veneto hills on the eastern shore of Lake Garda.

Grapes

Corvina and Rebo are used in equal parts.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand, carefully selected and gently pressed. Fermentation lasts 8–9 days at a controlled temperature of 22–24 °C.

Ageing

The wine is aged in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. It is then cold-bottled on a specialised, computer-controlled line. Before bottling the wine is chilled to kill microorganisms and filtered. The bottles are treated with hot steam and rinsed with sterilised water before the cold wine is filled.

Tasting profile

Elegant and fruit-forward, with a complex structure and a rich, well-balanced taste.

Serving and pairing

Suited to traditional Italian dishes, meat appetizers and cheeses.
