About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Cabernet Sauvignon grows in the “Passeggiata Tappeiner” vineyard at 300–420 m above sea level. The vines are 15–20 years old.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and gently pressed at the winery. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks for 15 days, followed by malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

The wine matures in a combination of new and used barriques and large oak casks.

Tasting profile

Elegant and well-balanced.
