Ageing: On lees for 24 months with malolactic fermentation with and additional minimum of 12 months in bottle.

Vineyard: The Collio is a territory of great white wines, wines of stone and wind, elegant and structured, with an incredible potential of aging. The “ponca” is a soil of Eocene origin, whose marl is very rich in mineral sediments (iron and manganese in particular), once deposited on bottom of the sea and left in its composition. It is a loose soil, poor in organic matter, and very well drained. Made up of alternating layers of marl and sandstone, it is able to retain accumulated moisture for the deepest roots, thus resisting drought.
