From selected hillside vineyards planted at an altitude of about 250 metres, located in Marano di Valpolicella valley, in the heart of classic Valpolicella.
Traditional natural drying of the grapes from the end of September for about 100 days, with a natural drop of 35-40% in weight. Great care is taken to check the integrity of the grapes and the health of the bunches. During this slow process the berry undergoes transformations that give it great concentration and an intense bouquet.
Soft pressing of the dried grapes in December/January. Fermentation at controlled temperature and maceration on the skins for about 30 days, with 1/2 daily pumping over.
The wine is aged in 20 hl Slavonian oak barrels for about 30 months.
