About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes used for the Il Gaggio range are grown on the gently sloping, sunny hills of Veneto.

Vinification

Vinification takes place in stainless-steel tanks under strictly controlled temperature conditions to preserve the grape’s fragrant varietal character and fruit flavours.

Tasting profile

Bright and fruity, with peach and pear aromas, well-integrated acidity and a fresh palate.

Label / history

The Il Gaggio brand takes its name from an ancient Roman fortress built during the Byzantine Empire. The fortress still stands and is noted for its orderly interior and carefully planned design.
