In Val d'Adige, at Terra dei Forti, the climate is characterized by intense temperature shifts and by constant winds. These rare climatic conditions and the great experience applied by our men, careful of each single bunch of grapes, from the defoliage to the double harvest, make this the best area for the cultivation of Pinot Grigio. It is all still based on personal labour, and on knowing the right fields and the winds, which is knowledge handed down in time.
