ETYSSA takes its name from Etisa, the ancient German name for the river Adige, which helped shape the orography and the climatic conditions needed to produce a Metodo Classico of the highest quality. The vineyards lie in the municipality of Trento at 500 m, in the very heart of the Trentodoc production zone, where a Mediterranean climate meets fresh Alpine winds. The growing season is marked by strong day-night temperature swings thanks to the updrafts from the surrounding mountains — guaranteeing freshness and the wine's capacity to evolve over long periods on its lees. Etyssa Cuvée represents the highest expression of the year's vintage.
