About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Garganega comes from 25-year-old vines trained using the Pergola and Guyot systems.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in late October and gently pressed. The must ferments with a specially selected strain of wine yeast, with regular lees stirring.

Ageing

After fermentation, the wine remains on its lees until March.

Tasting profile

Bright aromas of honeysuckle and melon lead to an elegant palate and a fruity finish.

Label / history
