PERCORSI D'ALTURA RANGE

 

PERCORSI D’ALTURA: Percorsi d'Altura was created in 2008 and is one of the best representations of La Vis production. These wines are selected from the best Trentinian vineyards, cultivated in strips at some of the highest points of the hilly areas north of Trento. The vineyards, generally terraced, are often located on very small plots of land, which people can only work by hand. Vineyard cultivation in such a particular environment makes Percorsi d’Altura a unique and inimitable product, and the high altitude of the vineyards is very much expressed in the finished wines, with extremely aromatic bouquets and incredibly pure fruit flavours.
