Terroir

The HILL Pinot Grigio vineyards stretch out across a 50-metre-tall hill to the south of Magrè. The terrain 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. Afterwards, the clarified must is fermented for around three weeks in stainless steel tanks. Before being bottled, the young wine is aged on the lees for a further five months.

Colour

Pale straw yellow, beautiful depth of colour

Nose

Clean notes of dried apricot, pink grapefruit and thyme with a distinct mineral-rich undertone

Palate

Close-knit and well-orchestrated, with well-defined supporting acidity and a mineral encore
