WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested by hand from biodynamically farmed vineyards in the Campo Rotaliano plain. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in open cement tanks to preserve the fresh, primary fruit character of the Teroldego grape. The wine is aged for approximately 12 months in cement and seasoned oak casks (botti) to allow gentle micro-oxygenation without imparting dominant oak flavors. It is bottled with minimal sulfur addition and without fining or filtration.
