About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from vineyards in Veneto with clay-limestone soils.

Grapes

Only the largest, healthiest, sun-facing grapes are selected, representing about 10% of the total harvest.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in late September, placed in wooden crates and dried for four months in dedicated rooms. During this period, they continue to ripen, concentrating their sugars and polyphenols. They are then pressed and vinified at a controlled temperature for five weeks.

Ageing

The wine matures for two years in wooden barrels of various origins and ages, followed by one year in bottle.

Label / history

Proemio was first produced in 1995.
