About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from terraced hillside vineyards in Castelrotto and San Pietro in Cariano. The vines grow on limestone soils and are cultivated using organic methods and biodynamic principles.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at the end of September into 20 kg crates, then destemmed and pressed the same day. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts lasts 6–8 days. The winemaking is oak-free, preserving the varieties’ character and the freshness of the fruit.

Ageing

The wine rests for three months in stainless-steel and concrete tanks.

Tasting profile

Refreshing, juicy and easy-drinking, with fresh, lively fruit.
