Vintage details

The 2024 vintage in Trentino was characterized by a regular spring and a mild summer, with good temperature variations between day and night. This favored a slow and complete ripening of the grapes, allowing the aromas and freshness to be preserved at their best. Moderate rainfall and constant ventilation kept the bunches healthy, ensuring a balanced and high-quality harvest.

Winemaking and aging

The Gewürztraminer grapes are harvested at full ripeness and subjected to a delicate soft pressing. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures, to preserve the fragrance and aromatic complexity typical of the grape variety. The wine then ages for several months on its fine lees (the yeasts deposited after fermentation, which enrich the wine with softness and structure). No wood aging, to keep aromas and freshness intact.
