About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Malvasia grows on old vines, 60 years of age.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and pressed as whole bunches at the winery. After 8–12 hours the must is racked for fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine spends a short time on the fine lees in stainless steel vats.

Tasting profile

Elegant.

Label / history

The label once showed characters from the winery's chicken coop. The coop no longer exists: it had to be removed because the birds sometimes fell prey to martens or local petty thieves. Its last goose lived for around 15 years and left the winery many years ago. The label now shows a Siamese cat named Molecola.
