Vinification: The juice ferments and macerates slowly on the skins, during which time the cap is punched down daily. The must is cold-clarified by allowing the lees to settle. The early months of maturation in large tanks are followed by 24 months in new French barriques. One year bottle-aging before release onto the market. |

After fermentation in cement tanks, the wine begins to mature in small new 225-litre barrels, where it will stay for 12 to 14 months. One year bottle-aging before release onto the market.

Wine Description:
 |
Black ruby to the rim. |
 |
Extravagant aromas of raw crushed blackberry, violet, cinnamon and smoked meat. |
 |
Velvety but bright in the mouth. Syrah-like flavors of crystallized berries and violet. Tannins are firm yet suave. |
|
Wine Description:
 |
A superior, more concentrated and denser Teroldego. Dark ruby to the rim. |
 |
Vibrant, tight aromas hint at black raspberry, liquorice, and minerals. Velvety in texture, very concentrated and powerfully structured. |
 |
Strong but thoroughly integrated acids. Finishes very long, with the fruit outlasting the tannins. |
