The grapes for this exceptional Lugana come from the historic vineyards of Podere Massoni, located in the municipality of Peschiera del Garda, south of Lake Garda. The vines benefit from the southern exposure and the calcareous clay soil, which gives the wine its distinctive character. The vines, averaging 50 years old, are trained using the Guyot system and each plant produces 8-10 buds.

After manual harvesting in the last ten days of September, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented for 15 to 20 days in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16-18°C. The wine then matures for 4-5 months in stainless steel tanks and a further 2-3 months in the bottle before being released for sale.
