Exceptional quality Riserva
The grapes for this Riserva come from carefully selected parcels of our Pelizzane vineyard, chosen for their special location and vine age. Grapes are harvested, vinified, and aged separately. Only if the wine is deemed exceptional is it bottled under the Riserva designation. In the past decade, we have produced Riserva only four times: 2007, 2009, 2012, and 2016.
