The estate's vineyards are approximately 12 hectares, with vines averaging 40 years old, grown in calcareous alluvial sediments and calcareous marl soils.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Marco Mosconi Passito Bianco 2006 is produced using the passito method, which involves drying the Garganega grapes to concentrate their sugars and flavors before fermentation. Fermentation is conducted using indigenous yeasts, a cornerstone of the winery's natural winemaking approach. The estate practices organic, sustainable, and biodynamic farming across its approximately 12 hectares of vineyards, where vines average 40 years old. The soil composition consists of calcareous alluvial sediments and calcareous marl. The producer's overarching goal is to preserve the inherent qualities of the fruit throughout the winemaking process.
