The 80 hectares of the property are managed with great care, following integrated pest management practices, in order to minimize the impact of agricultural activities on the environment. The wine is produced with grapes from the vineyards Pinot Nero Pozion, Mulinino, and Ca’ Nova, which are located at an altitude of about 200-250 meters above sea level, with a sunny exposure facing southwest.
