About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from Farra d’Isonzo, San Floriano and Cormòns in the Collio DOC. The hilly terrain originated in the Eocene period and consists of layers of sandstone and loam rock, including limestone and clay. Its impermeable character channels rainwater over the surface, limiting erosion and preventing stagnant water. The vines are Guyot-trained.
Grapes

Vinification
The bunches are harvested by hand and destemmed. The must and pulp undergo cold maceration, followed by gentle pressing to separate the juice from the skins. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks.
Ageing
The wine remains on its lees for six months and then spends several additional months in bottle.
