Soil characteristics: Typical of the Montello, clay and iron-rich
Vineyards: The training system used is the Guyot with a density of 5000 plants per hectare.
Vinification: Red vinification. The grapes harvested in separated epochs from the last week of September (Merlot) to the first ten days of October (Cabernet and Recantina) and vinified separately in stainless steel with a contact between skins and must-wine about 15 days.
Aging: This is followed by malolactic fermentation and aging in wood. This takes place in barriques of 3 ° and 4 ° passing (previously used for the refining dell' Umberto I) for a period of 12-14 months. Finally it is bottled and a short aging in bottle pre- marketing.

Bouquet: Intense with notes of red fruits and black currants. This is followed by spicy notes of vanilla and pepper.
