About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vines were planted between 1980 and 2015.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness. Fermentation is spontaneous, in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine rests for 8 months in stainless steel vats, then 12 months in bottle in the winery's cellars.

Label / history

The name can be translated as "little pest" or "difficult child". The wine is presented as a lively expression of traditional Valpolicella.
