Vineyard Site
The vines are rooted in small plots in very high altitude vineyards, in primary rock soils characterized by gneiss and mica schist. Due to the high elevations and proximity to the forest edge, the climate is noticeably cooler, with pronounced temperature differences between day and night.

Weather / Climate

Vintage description
2021 was a particularly varied year in the vineyards and once again demanded a lot of experience, sensitivity and intuition. After a cool spring and late flowering, the summer was very varied: sometimes sunny, sometimes rainy, but without heat waves. As changeable as the year had been until then, the weather remained stable during the harvest. The exceptionally beautiful and consistent autumn weather gave us the opportunity to harvest our parcels with absolute precision. The condition of the grapes was just perfect and the ripeness, acidity and aroma indicate an exceptional vintage that will be reflected in vibrant terroir-driven wines with longevity.
