The vineyards are located at \u003cstrong\u003e650-750 meters above sea level\u003c\/strong\u003e, on permeable morainic deposits with mica schist, paragneiss, and quartzite: a combination of conditions that promotes expressive precision and aromatic definition. The south and southwest exposure contributes to the full ripening of the grapes, while vinification and maturation in stainless steel preserve the purity of the fruit and varietal identity. The result is an elegant, concentrated, and vertical South Tyrolean white wine, with a very successful balance between richness and lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents a \u003cstrong\u003ebrilliant golden yellow\u003c\/strong\u003e, intense and luminous.
