About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from the winery's own vineyards in Veneto. Across the estate, fruit is selected from the sunniest, most open sites.
Vinification
After harvest the grapes go to the winery and are vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Pre-fermentation maceration lasts 7–8 days and is followed by fermentation.
Ageing
The wine is aged for 3–6 months before bottling.
Tasting profile
An elegant red wine.
Label / history
Santa Sofia's wines have been tied to the history, culture and landscape of the region for two hundred years. The winery is housed in a historic sixteenth-century villa designed by Andrea Palladio, which has become the symbol of the estate. The Begnoni family has owned the cellars since 1960. Giancarlo Begnoni works with his son Luciano and daughter Patrizia.
