Grape variety: 100% Pinot Grigio

Terroir: The vineyards are located in the Friuli Grave appellation on alluvial soils, rich in minerals, with good drainage. The climate is temperate with influence from the Adriatic Sea and the Alps, ensuring balanced ripening and preserving the natural freshness of the grapes.

Vinification: The grapes are hand-picked in the early hours of the day, then cooled and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged briefly on the fine lees, without contact with oak, to preserve the pure aromatic profile and freshness.
