Production and refinement

The grapes are pressed whole, and fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The sparkling base blend is assembled during the winter. The best tanks are selected for the reserve base. The wine ages on the lees for 60 months. After disgorgement, it rests for an additional minimum of 3 months in the bottle.

100% Durella, an indigenous variety from the hills between Vicenza and Verona, characterized by compact clusters and thick skins. The soils are volcanic in origin, rich in clay, well-drained, and mineral-rich.
Manual harvest with vineyard selection at the end of September.

Veneto

Grapevines have been cultivated in Veneto since the 7th century B.C., perfected by the Romans and continued in the Middle Ages. With Venetian domination from 1405, viticulture almost completely covers the territory, and Veronese wines, thanks to the Adige River, reach Venice. What sets this region apart from many others is the continuous commercial success of its wine products. From the late 18th century, the region experienced a crisis. However, the following century saw a qualitative leap in Venetian wines, also driven by the establishment of the Società Enologica Veronese in 1872. The first edition of Vinitaly took place in 1967.

Veneto has a complex wine production chain. Important areas include the Colline del Garda Veronese and Valpolicella, with Bardolino Superiore DOCG and Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG. Worth noting is the interregional Lugana DOC, between the provinces of Verona and Mantua. In the volcanic hills between the provinces of Verona and Vicenza lies the area of Soave Superiore DOCG, Soave DOC, and Gambellara DOC. The Colli Berici DOC, south of Vicenza, is known for its reds based on international varieties and Tocai Rosso. The Breganze DOC area, north of Vicenza, is renowned for its reds and whites based on Vespaiola grapes. In the Paduan area, there are the Colli Euganei with the Moscato Fior d’Arancio DOCG, while to the south lies the Friularo di Bagnoli DOCG. In Treviso, we find the Prosecco DOCG and the Colli di Conegliano DOCG. At the borders with Friuli is the Lison DOCG.

The presence of mountain ranges, hills, and vast plains provides significant temperature variations, mitigated near Lake Garda and along the coast. Veneto is therefore rich in diverse wines, made with both native and international grape varieties that find a second home here.

Monti Lessini

We find ourselves on the hillsides of the Monti Lessini, in a ventilated, sunny territory favorable to viticulture, also due to its volcanic soils. The Production Zone of Monti Lessini DOC wine is located between the provinces of Verona and Vicenza.

The main grape variety is Durella, a native variety of the area, with white berries and compact winged clusters. The name derives from the hardness and resistance of the skin and the high total acidity that characterizes the wine and determines its longevity.

Also present are Chardonnay and Pinot Nero, which have shown a vocation for these climates and soils.

An interesting and less-known wine is Durello Passito, a sweet wine obtained by the classic withering of Durella grapes in fruit drying rooms for several months. However, both the olfactory profile and, especially, the taste define a very atypical wine. Thanks to its significant acidity, the Durella grape defines a very original wine where sweetness and freshness coexist.
On the hills of Monti Lessini, between Verona and Vicenza, the ventilated and sunny territory, with volcanic soils, offers ideal conditions for viticulture.
