Vinification Note:
The Falasco Garganega is sourced from selected vineyards throughout the Valpantena region north of Verona. The Garganega grapes get extra concentration and ripeness from a late, hand-picked harvest. These grapes are destemmed and lightly pressed, the must and skins are kept for a short period in temperature controlled tanks. Soft pressing and controlled temperature of fermentation between 14-18 C. Half of the wine is stored in stainless steel tanks on its lees and the other half is aged in wood to add greater depth and complexity.
