Picol de legno
Picol de Legno is produced from a selection of the most amber-toned clusters of Garganega, an old clone characterised by the lignification of the pedicel during the ripening process. At harvest, a further selection is carried out: around 80% of the grapes are frozen and then vinified in the same way as Soave, while the remaining 20%, made up of the loosest clusters, is dried until January using the same method employed for Amarone. The two components are then blended, resulting in a wine with greater structure and aromatic complexity.
