Vineyards growing on volcanic soils and gravel hills of Breganze. For the name of the wine to choose a simple Italian word that means “twisting” is used in the cooking process. After collecting grapes wind on the lace at a certain distance from each other, thus giving the sun and wind access to each berry. Drying grapes lasts about 5 months.
