WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness from select hillside vineyards in the Trentino region. Following a gentle destemming, the must undergoes traditional red wine fermentation on the skins in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the bright primary fruit characters. A short period of aging in oak barrels adds subtle complexity and rounds out the tannins before bottling.
