About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Garganega grows in the Berici Hills, on vines 40 years old.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and dried by the traditional "Picai" method until the end of February. The whole bunches are then pressed and fermented with natural yeasts, with regular lees stirring over 120 days.

Ageing

The wine ages for 10 months in stainless steel tanks.

Tasting profile

Bright, sweet wine.

Serving and pairing

Pairs with spicy cheeses, foie gras, pudding, wafer rolls filled with Ricotta and chocolate shavings, and chocolate desserts.
