“Our wines follow an ambitious project, not only because biodynamic, but because we believe that now is the time for the Valpolicella to further exploit its territorial potential, free from market constraints in order to better express all their innate class in purity and taste.”

    Winemaking technique: The grapes chosen and collected in boxes are arranged in a special ventilated room to be dried according to the famous process of Drying. Grapes lose 35% of their original weight concentrating sugars, aromatic components and noble tannins. In February, soft pressing takes place and fermentation starts at low natural temperature (13th – 17th); the long maceration maximum extraction of the fruit. The wine remains for 12 months in oak tonneau French and in barrels of larger sizes (700, 1500 and 2000 litres); after bottling, remains to refine at least 8 months before being sold.
