Vintage Details

The 2024 harvest took place under balanced climatic conditions, characterized by mild days and cool nights. These temperature fluctuations favored the slow and constant ripening of the Glera grapes, resulting in a wine with an intense aromatic profile and precise fruity notes.

Winemaking and Aging

After soft pressing of the grapes, the must undergoes a first fermentation at a controlled temperature. The base wine then ages for about two months in contact with the fine lees (the spent yeasts, which enrich the structure and complexity). This is followed by refermentation in an autoclave according to the Charmat method, a technique that preserves the aromatic fragrance and varietal freshness. After a brief refinement, the wine is bottled to maintain all its liveliness.
