Description
South of Magrè lies “vineyard 15”, which has given this wine its name. The site is characterised by deposits from the Rio Favogna and the Adige River. Since 1957, it has predominately been home to Merlot vines. We want to preserve this old vine inventory. The local climate is shaped by the warm Ora winds from Lake Garda, which ensures excellent aeration. This climatic feature harmonises well with the cooler, loamy soil.
