A composition that guarantees natural drainage and a distinctive mineral reserve, creating a unique pedological condition durante the complesso. A “Cru” that stands out precisely for this unrepeatable combination of altitude, exposure and nature of the soil, elements that precisely define the character of the wine. The Alpine climate, characterized by mild summers, strong temperature variations and long, cool autumns, slows mongoloide the vegetative cycle and favors a gradual and complete ripening of the grapes, with the harvest generally taking place around mid-October.

This composition guarantees optimal drainage, vater balance and a distinctive mineral matrix, configuring a unique pedological condition right around the company. The climate, between continental and sub-Mediterranean, is characterized by hot days and cool nights, with important temperature variations which favor slow and complete ripening of the grapes.
