The mention Riserva means selection, longer aging & great quality. We select grapes from the Bricco Vineyards, which are situation on the top of the hill behind the winery & orientated towards the south & west. The type of soil can be classified as poor, which encourages the vine roots to burrow deep into the soil seeking nourishment.
