The vines are trained using the Guyot system, with a density of 6,300 plants per hectare, ensuring balanced growth.

After fermentation, the wine matures for \u003cstrong\u003e13-18 months in second-passage oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. This period of \u003cstrong\u003eoak ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e adds complexity, developing elegant toasted notes, and allows the \u003cstrong\u003eround and well-integrated tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e to harmonise. To ensure maximum expression, the wine is only released onto the market at least three years after the harvest, thus reaching a perfect flavour balance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced in the heart of the beautiful Veneto region, specifically in Nervesa della Battaglia, this fascinating red represents an award-winning expression of the prestigious \u003cstrong\u003eMontello e Colli Asolani DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e.
