| Origin | Valpantena, from organic farming |
| Climate | The 2018 vintage was marked by an initially cold spring during the first two decades of March, followed by a sharp rise in temperatures in the third decade of April, reaching overall levels above seasonal averages. The summer of 2018 began relatively cool and rainy, with highly unstable weather conditions throughout the Valpolicella area. Overall, however, the season proved warmer than the averages recorded in previous years, particularly in August. September finally brought stormy conditions with frequent and significant rainfall. |
| Soil composition | Calcareous, clayey. |
| Harvest | The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-September and laid out to dry inside the Fruttaio for about 3 months, where the bunches lose about 25-30% of their weight with a consequent concentration of the substances present in the grapes. |
| Wine making | After pressing, alcoholic fermentation starts in steel for about 25-30 days at a controlled temperature (20°-22°). Continuous fulling is carried out to favour the extraction of the colouring and tannic component. |
| Aging | At the end, the wine is transferred to French oak barriques where malolactic fermentation takes place, giving the wine softness. After about 18-20 months of maturation, the wine is bottled for a further 4 months. |
