About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the Campo di Pietra vineyards in the Piave River basin, southeast of Treviso. The potassium-rich “Caranto” soil consists of 30–35% clay, 20–25% silt and 45–50% sand. The vines average 15 years of age.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in small crates from the beginning to the end of September. After gentle pressing, the juice is separated from the skins and pulp. Fermentation lasts 15 days at a controlled temperature of 15–17 °C.

Ageing

The wine matures for six months in stainless-steel tanks, with regular lees stirring.

Tasting profile

Elegant and fresh.

Serving and pairing

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