The variety of the land, the steepness of the hills, the varying exposition of the vineyards and the peculiarities of the micro-climate motivate, winemaker, Elisa Dilavanzo, to continue to explore and research every aspect of winemaking in this unique land and ancient varietal.

  • Bianco Infinito, Fior D’Arancio Colli Euganei DOCG — 2020 – Wine Enthusiast – 90 Points

    "This aromatic wine leaps out of the glass with fresh wildflowers, ginger, kafir lime zest, dried limes and stone fruit. The palate is energetic and lively with a distinct floral note mixed with candied citrus and bitter apricot finishing with a hint of wild mint."
