About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the company's own vineyards in Alto Adige. The vines are 10–20 years old. The wine belongs to the "Festival" range from Merano.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested only when they reach optimal ripeness. At the winery they are macerated and then fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature for 15 days.

Ageing

Malolactic fermentation and the ageing that follows take place in used barriques and small oak barrels.

Tasting profile

The "Festival" range is fresh, aromatic and easy-drinking.

Serving and pairing

Suited to everyday drinking and to serving with a meal.
