The grapes for this exceptional wine come from the hilly vineyards of Valpolicella, which face southeast and southwest. At an altitude of 250 to 300 meters above sea level, the vines grow in calcareous clay soils rich in rock fragments. The vineyards are trained using the Guyot system and have an average age of 10 to 15 years.

The grapes are harvested by hand from the end of September to mid-October. After careful picking, they are destemmed and traditionally macerated in stainless steel tanks for 10 to 12 days. Once alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wine is gently pressed and aged for approximately 12 months in oak barrels, which gives it its depth and complexity.
