About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the company's own vineyards in Alto Adige, at 500–650 m above sea level. The vines are 10–20 years old.

Grapes

The variety is Pinot Nero, also called Blauburgunder.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested only when they reach optimal ripeness. At the winery they are macerated, then fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for 10 days.

Ageing

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