Territory and style of the wine

The grapes come from a historically significant area for Garganega, in a volcanic origin context with clayey-silty texture. This territorial element contributes to giving the wine a savory dimension and a particularly recognizable gustatory push. Manual harvesting and careful vinification, with part of the fermentation in barriques and part in steel, define a complex yet precise style, where the fruit remains central without sacrificing depth and structure.

The finish is savory, long, and persistent, with a gustatory progression that invites the next sip.
