Vineyard |
The vineyards are set in hills of glacial moraine with gravelly and light soils. Here the microclimate is favorable with the proximity to the lake making the climate milder and less humid than the neighboring plains. Vines trained by Pergola Veronese and Guyot with East/West exposure at 140 meters above the sea level. It is cultivated with the organic farming method certified by BIOS since 1999. |
Vinification |
Hand harvested. The base juice sees very brief contact with the must skins to obtain the rosé color. The sparkling process takes place with the Charmat method, which is long in an autoclave and then rests on the lees for more than three months. |
Pairing |
Excellent aperitif with cheeses and hors d'oeuvres, light pasta dishes, and couscous with vegetables. Also excellent with delicate seafood courses. |
The Bettili family, originally from the town of Soave, are winegrowers since the early decades of the twentieth century, in addition to being winemakers and wine traders. In 1965, Siro, the father of Cristiana, leaves the original family vineyards to buy a farm in the hinterland of Garda lake, in Cavaion. Discovering that this land is suited to the cultivation of vines, Siro decided to continue the family tradition and begins to cultivate the forty year old vineyard existing on the estate.
In 1999 Cristiana enters in the company, converting the 3 hectares of vineyards into organic practices. Between 2002 and 2005 the vineyard is renovated with the modern way of training, Guyot.
