VARIETY: 100 % PINOT BIANCO
PRODUCTION: The vineyards on the valley floor of the Lowlands around the towns of Cortina, Margrè and Salorno in the southern Bassa Atesina.
VINEYARDS: 2 main growing systems: Pergola and Guyot; 2023 - 7000 vines/hectar. The age of the vines varies 3-8 years on the modern Guyot system to 25 years on traditional Pergola
SOIL PROPERTIES: Sandy alluvial soil in the area between Margrè and Cortina and deep loamy soils in the area of Salorno.
VINIFICATION: The grapes were pressed softly, clarified through natural gravity settling of the sediments and finally fermented separately (as all our withes) in Stainless steel tanks at low temperatures (18°-21°C)to retain the classic aromatic qualities. Prior bottling the wine is aged for 5 month on the fine lees in the tank.
