History |
"Solèr" is a word of the Venetian dialect and means the top floor of a rural house: a loft, a barn. Historically it was used by the grape growers to dry their best grapes, since in the "solèr" there is a good ventilation, a low humidity and it is sunny. In fact, the word "solèr" comes from "sole", which is sun in Italian, that contributes to dry the grapes. |
Origin |
Company's vineyards in Refrontolo and Fossalta di Piave. |
Climate |
Mild and breezy, with wide temperature variations between day and night, ideal for preserving aromas and flavours. |
Soil composition |
In Refrontolo the soil is particularly rich in clay and tufa, which characterises the wine. In Fossalta di Piave the alluvial soil is very rich in clay. |
Harvest |
Between the end of September and the beginning of October, when grapes have a great colour allowing a high colouring and aromatic berry content and soft tannins. |
Vinification |
The Marzemino and Refosco grapes are dried and the other part follows a classical vinification at a controlled temperature. Then the dried grapes are destemmed and crushed, the fermentation will occur in special vessels at a controlled temperature. |
Ageing |
12 months in barrique, followed by an additional 12 months refining in bottle. |
Pairing |
Excellent with stuffed pasta, grilled meat and cured meats. |
