About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in vineyards in the Piave River basin, southeast of Treviso, on clay-rich soils with a high humus content.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in early September and gently pressed. The must is separated from the skins and pulp at low temperatures, then fermented with selected yeasts at a controlled 18–20 °C.

Ageing

The wine rests on its lees for several months.

Serving and pairing

Suitable as an aperitif and with fish, white meat, risotto and shellfish.
