About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow on the sunny hills of Veneto.

Tasting profile

Understated and soothing, with acidity, sweetness and tannins combining harmoniously on the palate.

Label / history

The Il Gaggio range takes its name from an ancient Roman fortress built during the Byzantine Empire. Still standing, the fortress is noted for its orderly interior and carefully planned design.
