Vintage Details

2023 was a balanced year in the Soave Classico area: after a cool and regular spring, summer brought mild temperatures and good diurnal temperature swings. These conditions allowed for slow and complete ripening of the grapes, preserving delicate aromas and marked acidic freshness, key elements for a pleasant, drinkable white of excellent finesse.

Vinification and Aging

After soft pressing of the grapes, fermentation takes place at low temperatures, and the wine then remains on its lees for several weeks, a practice that helps to give greater roundness and complexity to the taste. No wood aging, to prioritize the immediacy and purity of the Garganega varietal.
