About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The vineyards lie in the Bassa Atesina at the foot of Monte Roen, between 350 and 550 m, with south-east exposure. Calcareous soils are mixed with clay gravel. The Mediterranean climate brings hot summers and mild winters, while the Ora arrives as a warm afternoon wind from Lake Garda.
Grapes
100% Gewürztraminer.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand. The clarified must ferments at low temperature for approximately three weeks in stainless-steel tanks.
Ageing
The young wine matures on its lees for a further seven months.
Technical data
