This wine is made from grapes from selected wineries in the DOC area of the Euganean Hills. The grapes are left to ripen until the optimum harvesting time while checking their condition, sugar content and other important substances. Then the vinification process highlights the characteristics of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon through a prolonged contact between the must and the skins at a controlled temperature so that all substances can be fully released. After fermentation, the wine is stored in fine oak barrels for 15-18 months so that it can fully age and acquire fragrances and smoothness. Maturation is completed in bottles to give the wine an excellent taste.

The presence of marine fossils in the territory of the Euganean Hills testifies their origin: an archipelago of volcanic islands that emerged 130 million years ago. The decisive reliefs separated by fresh valleys, the suitable sun exposure and the mixing of the alluvial deposits with the disintegrated volcanic rocks, they determine intense qualitative characteristics in the grapes. These peculiarities give the red wines the color and strength they draw from the land, as well as intensity of smell and taste.
