- The golden yellow indicates an ample, exquisite, refined bouquet in which delicate hints of vanilla envelop quince and ripe citrus fruit sensations. The palate is creamy and embracing, smooth, silky, well-structured and dynamic.
The grapes undergo a slow and soft mechanical pressing in Coquard presses, followed by decanting at cool temperatures. The must ferments in small oak barrels, 15% new and the rest 3-4 years old for 12 months. The wine is then aged for 6 more months in the bottle.

Winery | This wine was named after the vineyard where the grapes are harvested: 4.14 hectares at approximately 300 meters above sea level, among the most sun-kissed in the Franciacorta area. The substrate consists of carbonate-rich glacial deposits, characterized by sandy-silty textures, compacted with gravel under the glacier’s pressure. Vines are an average of 35 years old; Guyot trained with a plant density of 5000 vines per hectare and cultivated using organic fertiliser and sustainable minimal viticultural practices; grapes are hand-picked. |
