Winemaking

Although on the hills, the vineyards are situated in small swale, protected from the
winds from Lake Garda. This detail, usually a disadvantage, is a big plus in the case of Terminum:
only this way can the Botrytis cinerea spores develop, rewarding us with great dessert wines.
After manual harvest the grapes are delivered in small containers. After about 12 hours of
maceration, they are pressed very gently (up to 1.8 bar).

Aging

Once fermentation is completed, the wine continues to mature in barrique barrels
for another 6-9 months

Appearance

strong golden yellow

Food Pairing

perfect when paired with dried fruits and desserts such as apricot and cinnamon
strudel or crème brulée; excellent with aged cheese, especially blue cheese. This extraordinary
wine can be drunk by itself or to celebrate a special occasion with friends.
