Through innovation and investment in modern vinification techniques, the family produces stunning still and sparkling wines for which the Veneto region has become famous.

VINEYARD:
The grapes come from IGT Veneto, in the northeastern corner of Italy. It administratively forms part of the Triveneto zone, along with its smaller neighbours Trentino-Alto Adige and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The Veneto wine region has a beautiful climate with cold winters and warm summers that enjoys breezes from the Adriatic Sea, which has a cooling effect on the vines during the summer heat. The area is also influenced by cooling winds from the Alps, which are situated to the north of the region. The vines for this wine are grown in a vineyard with marl soils, which produces fresh and elegant wines. The grapes are handharvested at optimum maturity.

WINEMAKING:
The grapes were destemmed and macerated prior to fermentation, which took place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts. The wine was made in an unoaked style and was kept in tank until bottled to preserve its freshness and purity of fruit.

TASTING NOTE:
A dry, fruity and well flavoured Merlot, full of ripe plum and blueberry fruit with delicate herbal notes. Well structured with a hint of spice.
