Vineyard situation: the name of the countryside on the hill of Faedo is Palai at elevation between 550 and 750 meters (1800 to 2400 feet) above sea level with a southeast exposure. The site is wellventilated because of the influence of the “Ora” from Lake Garda (a wind that comes from the nearby famous lake)

Training system:“pergoletta trentina aperta” with a vine density of 6500 plants per hectare and Guyot (6200 plants per hectare)

Soil: as regards geomorphology, Faedo is located between the Permian formation of the porphyritical platform and drifts of sandstone, siltstone, loam rocks, limestone and dolomite. The soil is changeable in the depth from 30 to 100 centimeters. It’s muddy – calcareous and on a marly conglomerate

Grape varieties: Muller Thurgau.

Alcohol: 12 %.

Life of wine: A few years, typically.

Characteristics: Thanks to the striking contrast resulting in a strong development of aromas, richness and concentration, Faedo is one of the most ideal places for making this kind of wine in between day and night-time temperatures, Italy (such as our nearby valley of Cembra and to the north near Bolzano, the valley called Isarco)

Etc: In order to preserve the delicate aromatic characteristics (aromas and natural antioxidants) the grapes are worked in iperriduction (no oxygen). This is a proprietary technique using methodologies developed by Pojer & Sandri.
