ABOUT THIS WINE

Across five generations, the family has championed high-altitude mountain viticulture under their guiding philosophy 'Dalla Mia Vigna' ('From My Vineyard'). Situated in the steep Rhaetian Alps of Lombardy's Valtellina region, Triacca produces Aurora from terraced vineyards perched on historic dry-stone walls overlooking the Adda River valley.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 100% Nebbiolo (locally known as Chiavennasca) grapes are harvested by hand in early October from high-altitude terraced slopes. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel vats with automated punch-downs and periodic délestage at around 27°C over 12–15 days to gently extract delicate fruit and floral aromas while preserving fresh acidity. The wine is then aged in large oak casks and stainless steel tanks for 6 to 12 months prior to bottle release.
