Producer Profile
During the course of Maurizio's long and illustrious career, he has consulted for well known wineries around Italy and in doing so he came across the vineyards for their Puglian wines. Both the Pugliese and Veneto wines are characterised by an almost dangerous drinkability, aromatic purity and exceptional value for money.
Viticulture
Grapes are cultivated on small hills with limestone subsoil, south the Lake of Garda. This particular location and altitude give the wine a delicate minerality, important structure and typical floral fragrances.
Winemaking
The grapes are picked by hand and then placed in wooden cases. This is usually at dawn or late in the evening to avoid the grapes suffering from the intense heat of the day and to avoid the risk of skin fermentation during transport. Once the grapes arrive in the vinification cellar, they are pressed immediately, and the must is fermented under controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks (20°-23°C). The skins are generally kept in the tank for a long time together with all other natural chemical substances so that they can release the aromas with more intensity.
Tasting Notes
