Description
Vette was first produced in the 2011 vintage from the desire to create a white wine with significant minerality and harmony. Varieties of Sauvignon Blanc were selected to produce a fresh wine that offers floral notes. The name is a tribute to the peaks of the imposing Trentine mountains visible from the vineyards where this wine is born.
