From 100% Turbiana grapes comes this white wine originating in the hilly area of Lonato del Garda, from vineyards at 150-250 m above sea level. Harvesting, which takes place between the end of October and the beginning of November, is done manually and allows the carefully selected bunches to be picked and immediately subjected to soft pressing. Fermentation takes place in steel at a controlled temperature of 15°C for a duration of 8-10 days. The final stage of refinement also takes place in steel.
