The quality of the bottles produced is of an extraordinary level, in compliance with corporate objectives that aim at enhancing the variety traditionally acclimatized in the production area. Contributes to the rediscovery of these resolutions Timorasso vine revived in the early 90s, thanks to the tenacity of some local growers, capable of giving wines from the amazing potential of aromatic, with a structure and a voltage unusual sour most common in whites in Italy, such as to be particularly suitable to the evolution in the bottle and aging.
