Site
The vineyard is located in Sant’Ambrogio della Valpolicella, a
hilly zone exposed to the southeast, at 250-300 m a.s.l.
Vinification
After being picked and carefully graded, the grape clusters are placed in shallow wood trays for about 5 months, leaving space for air circulation around the bunches. After fermentation on the skins, the wine is divided into 300-litre French oak barrels and Slavonian oak cases for maturation of about two and a half years.
Ageing
A year's ageing in bottle before release.
