About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The selected fruit comes from vineyards at 300–350 m above sea level, on silty marl soils.

Grapes

The Cortese grapes are selected.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in the second week of September and gently pressed at the winery. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 18 °C, using selected Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. After natural settling at the beginning of winter, the wine is racked off its sediment and cold-stabilized at the end of winter.

Ageing

The wine is bottled at the beginning of the spring following the harvest, then rests in bottle for 2–4 months in the winery’s cellars.

Tasting profile

The aroma is bright and expressive. The palate is pleasant and well balanced.

Label / history

Annual production totals 7,000 bottles.
