The Land:

The vineyards are situated in the heart of Valpolicella Classica in the Negrar Valley in the hills between 300 and 500 metres above sea level, facing south east and south west next to Jago. The earth is clay and chalky with a good presence of rock fragments. The style of the grassy plant is ‘Double Veronese Pergola’.

Wine Making:

We carry out the harvest between September and October, selecting and picking the grapes only by hand. The bunches of grapes are placed in crates, also known as “Ploto”, destined to be dried in the fruit sheds.
During the winemaking we carry out a destalking and pressing of the dried grapes and we empty the crates in which the grapes have been resting one by one.
Fermentation occurs in winemaking containers made of stainless steel.

Ripening and Aging:

The first months are for settling, that is the wine is placed in stainless steel vats.
During the second stage it remains in wooden barrels.

Given that it is a natural product, this data can be subject to variations.The product contains sulphites.
