About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from estate vineyards in the provinces of Venice and Treviso, at elevations of 90–180 metres. The predominantly south-facing sites have clay-limestone soils.

Grapes

Pinot Bianco and/or Chardonnay account for no more than 15% of the blend.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented in large stainless-steel tanks for 10–12 days at a controlled temperature of 17–18 °C. Secondary fermentation follows the Italian Charmat method, taking place in sealed autoclaves for 12 days at 15 °C. The wine is filtered before bottling.

Ageing

The wine remains on its lees for about one month.

Tasting profile

Bright and clear in appearance, with a refreshing style.
