About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the winery’s vineyards in Cermes, Lagundo, Lana and Merano, at elevations of 300–400 m. The vines are 10–25 years old, and the fruit is harvested only at optimal ripeness.

Vinification

At the winery, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature for 10–15 days. Malolactic fermentation follows alcoholic fermentation.

Ageing

The wine rests on fine lees in used barriques and tonneaux for several months.
