100% Lagrein grapes, coming from the most exclusive zone for the cultivation of this variety, Trentino Alto Adige. The lands, in these hills, have a south-east and south-west exposition. The soils composition reveals the presence of limestone, clay and sand. The manual selection of grapes starts the wine making process, that proceeds with 10 days maceration in contact with the skins. A slow alcoholic fermentation in steel at controlled temperature follows. The malolactic fermentation is managed in 70/22hl barrels made of French or Slavonia oak. The aging is developed in wood too.
