This intense and complex wine is obtained from Garganega grapes native to the Doc area of Gambellara, with a slight over-ripening on the vine. The wine ages in steel tanks and in large oak barrels and is straw yellow in color with elegant smells of ripe fruit and almond, with a full, salty taste and persistent flavor. This is a wine with great ability to evolve.
