Description
Red wine obtained from the vinification of a single vineyard located on the slopes of the mountains facing Lake Garda. A first harvest is carried out on this vineyard for the production of sparkling wine base at the beginning of September and the best 5-6 clusters are left on the vine for another 20-25 days in order to achieve perfect ripeness. The nature of the soil and the microclimate of the Garda Trentino amphitheater allows to obtain a classy wine that combines minerality and enveloping.

Vinification
Manual harvest and selection of grapes in late September. Depending by the vintage, a variable percentage between 30% and 50% of the grapes are vinified in whole bunches, keeping the steam in the vinification without carrying out either pressing or destemming of the grapes. The remaining part of the bunches is only de-stemmed and ferments at a controlled temperature for about 15 days, a period corresponding to the duration of maceration on the skins. This is followed by an aging of 12 months in French oak barriques with a third of new barrels. It ages in the bottle for at least 10 months before being put on the market.
