It is a hillside terrain, around 2,100 feet above sea level, with good exposure, calcareous, clay-rich soil with chalk deposits near the surface, next to an area of woodland, characterized by a terroir and microclimate very similar to those of the Champagne region. The altitude and the nearness of the neighboring woodland allow the vineyard to benefit fully from the effects of the wide range of temperature.

Here in the 1990s, vine shoots were planted of the Chardonnay and Pinot Nero varieties purchased in France. After a few years, with the initial harvests, it was possible to start the – initially experimental – production of quality sparkling wines. It was by honing his technique and through his careful treatment of these grapes that Giuseppe Bellei went on to obtain major awards in a great number of winemaking contests.

Since then, the vineyard has continued to be skillfully tended under the watchful eye of Christian Bellei, who makes all the choices concerning cultivation techniques, pruning and the grape-picking (performed exclusively by hand), using baskets that hold no more than 37 pounds of fruit in order to ensure each grape remains whole until the soft-pressing is carried out.
