What kind of wine is it?

The winemaking takes place in stainless steel at low temperature, after gentle pressing in the absence of oxygen. The result is a fresh blend, elegant and persistent, with a clean, dry finish for immediate drinkability.

Where does it come from?

The grapes for Bianco Télos grow in the vineyards of Colognola ai Colli, in the province of Verona. This wine is a faithful expression of Venetian hillside viticulture, reflecting the uniqueness of its terroir. The identity of the bottle is founded on this very geographical location, combined with meticulous vineyard work that includes manual harvesting and bunch selection.

How is it produced?

Garganega and Chardonnay are hand harvested and undergo a gentle pressing in an oxygen-free environment. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at low temperature to preserve the fruit's integrity. The wine then undergoes a short period of aging in the same vessels before bottling, in order to maintain a technical profile that enhances its natural aromatic purity.
