| Origin | Estate vineyards, the oldest are in San Ponzio, on the lower western border of Bricco delle Viole |
| Harvest | Freisa is one of the last varieties to be harvested, due to its ripeness. The grapes are selected by hand three times: directly on the vine, as whole bunches on the sorting tables, and finally as individual berries after destemming. |
| Wine making | Fermentation lasts approximately 15-25 days in vertical vats, followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation. |
| Aging | 26 months, mostly in large oak barrels. |
| Allergens | Contains sulphites |
