This specific zoning of Alto Adige allows for a masterful balance of savouriness and freshness. Near Cornaiano, the \u003cstrong\u003emoraine components of the soil\u003c\/strong\u003e provide fullness and rich fruitiness, while the parcels at higher altitudes, characterised by \u003cstrong\u003esilty-clay soils on a calcareous base\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensure backbone and structure.

Maturation continues for twelve months on the fine lees in the same barrels, giving the wine pronounced creaminess and impeccable aromatic integration. The process concludes with six months in \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e and a subsequent period of \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e.
