Vinification, winemaker's own words
- Soils:
- Clay
- Terroir:
- Our vines grow on ponca soils, rich in marl and sandstone, which give minerality and complexity to our wines. The microclimate, with hot summers and cold winters, favors an ideal maturation, while the protection of the Alps and the influence of the Bora create a perfect balance between freshness and heat.

- Winemaker:
- MATTIA PETRUSSA
the grapes, harvested at full ripeness, are destemmed and crushed. The resulting must is left to macerate and ferment in contact with the skins for about 20 days in cement tanks, with frequent pump-overs to promote the extraction of color and tannins. After racking and both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations, the wine undergoes appropriate transfers. It then rests for a long time in 5 hl french oak tonneaux, before bottling.
