Winemaker’s note :

“Delicate roots grow in the depth of as ever land : this is the birth of prestigious wines” Thanks in fact to the typical phenomena of this karst land, below the hard rocky surface lie natural basins in which water collects and is held, bringing the life-giving water to the roots of the vines. The parent rock, the scant red earth - rich in iron and lime - the particular climate and the late harvest are some of the essential elements for a production of limited quantity, but with absolutely unique characteristics Acclaimed by an increasing number of national and international connoisseurs, the quality of the Castelvecchio wines is the result of bold production decisions, tied to the particular characteristics of the land.
