About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Cortese favours relatively compact marl-limestone soils and a microclimate that is not excessively warm, conditions that help preserve acidity.

Grapes

Cortese.

Vinification

After gentle pressing, the must ferments as a single variety for 10 days at 15–16°C.

Ageing

A short period of bottle ageing develops the wine's character and structure.
