Territory and wine style

The production area, in Alto Adige, offers ideal conditions for a fine and vertical Chardonnay. The vineyards are located between 350 and 450 meters above sea level, in a context that favors balanced ripening and good freshness. The clayey soils with limestone rock and layers of white dolomitic stone contribute to defining a mineral and taut profile, while the limited yield of 40 hl/ha suggests a pursuit of quality and concentration. Vinification in tonneaux, followed by aging on the lees and further refinement in steel, builds a style that is rich yet measured, with volume and precision.
