About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the Santa Cristina estate in Peschiera del Garda, where the vineyards lie south of Lake Garda on clay and chalk soils. The fruit develops a distinctive, complex aroma.

Vinification

After harvest, the grapes ferment in stainless-steel tanks for 15–20 days at a controlled temperature of 16–18 °C.

Ageing

The wine rests for 4–5 months in steel tanks, followed by 2–3 months in bottle.

Serving and pairing

It pairs with a wide range of dishes, particularly freshwater lake fish.
