About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The estate has 30 ha of vineyards in Grave del Friuli, with alluvial, stony soils and a planting density of 4,000 vines/ha. The fruit for this wine comes from the Teraje vineyard.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested during the first two weeks of September. A portion undergoes cryomaceration. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, with 20% in barriques and the remainder in stainless-steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation.
Ageing
The wine matures partly in stainless-steel tanks and partly in barriques, followed by at least three months in bottle.
Serving and pairing
