Vineyard Information: Turbiana, the ancient name for the native Trebbiano di Soave, is sourced from old vines that grow in middle of Garganega vines in the Vigne della Bra Cru. These old vines were grafted onto rootstock just one year after it was planted in soil once deemed too rocky for farming. This land, historically referred to as "campo del pastore," was previously used for sheep herding. Trebbiano di Soave was chosen specifically for its naturally low yield and unique ripening characteristics: unlike the typical greenish hue of most white grapes, its berries develop a distinctive rosy-yellow tint at full maturity. The grape clusters are compact, and the individual berries are exceptionally small, contributing to the wine's concentrated flavors.

Winemaking Notes: This wine is crafted in a deliberately oxidative style to enhance complexity and character. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with ambient yeast. During fermentation, the tank lid is left open, encouraging controlled oxidation and allowing a slight layer of flor to develop on the wine’s surface—a technique reminiscent of fino sherry production. After fermentation, the wine ages on its lees in stainless steel for a minimum of six months, adding richness and texture. The wine is neither filtered nor clarified, preserving its natural structure and expression. A minimal amount of sulfites is added to ensure stability while maintaining the wine’s authenticity.
