Terroir
The hill, called a Punggl in the local dialect, is only 50 metres high and extends to the south of Magrè. It sits at between 220 and 250 metres above sea level. The soil is a stratification of grey clay sand with a high clay content.
Climate
The Mediterranean climate is characterised by hot summers and mild winters, as well as the Ora, a warm afternoon wind that comes from Lake Garda to the south.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand. After the whole grapes have been pressed, the clarified must is fermented for around three weeks in 30 hl wooden barrels. Afterwards, the young wine is aged on the lees for a further eight months.
