In Trentino-Alto Adige, the grapes thrive in a rather cool climate, which is reflected in particularly long and even grapes and a rather moderate must weight. After the grape harvest, the grapes are quickly transported to the winery. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in small wood and large wood at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is followed by maturation for 12 months in oak barriques.
