About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow on the eastern shore of Lake Garda, in a landscape shaped by retreating glaciers. Flat areas beside the lake give way to gentle hills rising from 50 to 100 metres. The glacial soils are mainly limestone and clay, with stones and sand also found on the hills. The lake's waters soften the climate, and warmth-loving olive trees and cypresses are often seen near the vineyards.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand. Maceration and fermentation take place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature.

Ageing

The wine stays in stainless steel tanks until bottling.

Tasting profile

Rich in taste, with intense fruit aromas.
