About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in the commune of Togliano, from which the wine takes its name.

Vinification

Before pressing, the grapes are cooled with dry ice to preserve their bright varietal character. A short cold maceration precedes fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine matures partly in small oak barrels and partly in stainless-steel tanks.

Label / history

The name “Togliano” refers to the commune where the grapes are grown.
