This wine is the best way in which Colterenzio winery express the local tradition. Its vinification involves only 100% pure Schiava grapes. The origin is that of classic Alto Adige, within which the company operates. The soils are characterized by conspicuous moraine deposits-sandy mixed with porphyry gravel, the ideal base for this Schiava. Vinification involves alcoholic fermentation in steel at about 25°C with a controlled temperature and immediately followed by malolactic fermentation. After 4 months in concrete tanks, the wine is bottled in spring.
