About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit is grown around the village of Gleno in Montagna, in vineyards at 550 metres above sea level. Marked differences between daytime and nighttime temperatures contribute vibrant fruit character and elegance.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks for 14–16 days, with regular punch-downs.

Ageing

The wine matures in small and large oak barrels for 12–15 months, followed by several months in bottle, developing a refined profile.
