WINE MAKING PROCESS
Led by head winemaker Stefano Migotto, a third-generation northern Italian winemaker, the winemaking process blends Old World structural concepts with New World fruit. Grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled vessels to preserve the vibrant primary red fruit aromas. Following fermentation, individual vineyard parcels are carefully blended to establish a harmonious cuvée. The wine is then lightly aged in French oak barrels, a technique that introduces subtle complexity, gentle tannins, and delicate notes of vanilla and toast without overpowering the grape's natural fruit-forward character.
