Winery | The soil of morainic origin, with winters mitigated by proximity to Lake Iseo, is located in an amphitheatre at an average altitude 250 m above sea level, which acts as a natural barrier against warm air currents from the Po Valley. 30-year-old vines are trained with the Guyot system and planted at a density of 5,000 vines per ha, yielding 90 quintals of grapes per ha, harvested by hand in small boxes of 13 kg. Grapes were sourced from the vineyards of Breda, Rocchetta, Pagulla, Favento, Casotte, and Carlino. Grapes are hand-picked. |
