About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the Campo di Pietra vineyards, southeast of Treviso.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand from late September to early October, selecting only ripe or slightly overripe berries. After destemming and crushing, they macerate in wooden vats for 20 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barriques.

Ageing

The wine matures for 18 months in new French oak barrels, followed by a further 12 months in bottle in the winery’s cellars before release.

Tasting profile

Generous and beautifully balanced.
