How it was made
Fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks, this wine is made from the garganega grape, which we received in our winery on September 30th, while the chenin blanc had a normal entry on September 15th. The wine was blended in April 2023 and underwent minimal intervention during the process. Aside from a low level of added sulfites to prevent the growth of unwanted microorganisms, we used organic wine yeast and a natural component to prevent bacteria on the moscatel. Our wine is free from any other additives and was cleared using a cellulose filter.
Where do we get our grapes from?
Loire, France
Nestled in the heart of France you will find the Loire wine region. Named after and known for France's longest river and consisting of four different regions. This French region is renowned for its sweet chenin blanc wines. Despite their exceptional quality, they remain somewhat undervalued.
Veneto, Italy
The Veneto wine region boasts an impressive lineup of reds, from the fruity Valpolicella to the bold and intense Amarone, not to mention the sweet Recioto. It also offers crisp and refreshing whites like the ever-popular Soave and sparkling Prosecco.
