About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyard lies on the southwest-facing San Giorgio Ingannapoltron hill at 500 m above sea level. It is farmed organically with biodynamic preparations.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand into small crates from late September to early October. Spontaneous fermentation lasts 8–10 days and is followed by further maceration on the skins.

Ageing

The wine ages for 12 months in 25 hl barrels, followed by additional bottle ageing.

Tasting profile

Elegant and refined.

Serving and pairing

Decant before serving.

Label / history

The kite on the label represents freedom of choice and flying against the wind, symbolising the pursuit of purity and the vineyard’s individual character.
