The Teroldego grape is native to Trentino and has been cultivated here since ancient times. It is extremely rich in polyphenols and grows perfectly in the sub Mediterranean climate of South Tyrol. The grapes, which are the source of the most characteristic Teroldego wine, ripen on the gentle slopes of the Avisio Hills around the Rotaliana Plain. Manual harvesting started in early October. Fermentation was at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks with malolactic fermentation in fibreglass reinforced concrete tanks, ageing on the lees for approximately 5/6 months in fibreglass reinforced concrete tanks, with a portion aged in French oak barrels that have been used once previously, prior to bottling.
