Alluvial basin of the Piave river.
Harvest:

Second Fermentation:
Left on the lees for several months, where a percentage which varies based on the year is inoculated with selected bacteria to initiate the malolactic fermentation. Refermentation in autoclave (Charmat long method) for over a year, then bottling and aging in the bottle for a further 12 months before being released to market. Interesting also after several years of aging.
