Vinification |
Non-soft pressing with pneumatic presses, static decantation of the must, and fermentation at a controlled temperature of 17-19°C with naturally selected yeasts. |
Ageing |
Ageing and staying on the noble lees in steel for a minimum of 6 months. Second fermentation in the bottle, without disgorgement, as in use in the Treviso hills for many generations. In spring, re-fermentation in the bottle, in a dark room at a temperature of 16-17°C. At the end of fermentation, the yeasts remain at the bottom. |
Pairing |
Ideal in summer thanks to its freshness. It pairs well with fish dishes, and risotto with mushrooms or vegetables. |
