About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the estate's organic vineyards in the hills of Vicenza province, Veneto. The mild climate and the nearby Alps, which shelter the vineyards from cold northern winds, provide favourable conditions for a high-quality harvest. The vines grow in mixed clay-limestone soils.

Vinification

Harvest is by hand into small crates, which keeps the berries intact. At the winery the grapes are pressed and macerated on the skins for 20 days. Fermentation follows with natural yeasts in stainless steel tanks at a controlled 25–30 °C.

Ageing

The wine ages in steel tanks and oak barrels. It is lightly filtered before bottling.

Tasting profile

A pleasant, natural dry red.
