Winemaking

The Pinot Nero grapes are sourced from the higher altitude vineyard areas of Valdobbiadene where they benefit from the cooling influence of the mountain winds and the temperature drop overnight. Hand picked, then destemmed and crushed at the winery, the juice begins fermentation in contact with the skins and is then removed after a few hours, leaving it lightly infused with the blush colour. The second fermentation takes place in sealed steel tanks at a controlled pressure and temperature, increasing the length of time taken to achieve the sparkle which creates a higher quality finished wine. There is no oak used in the making of this wine.
