The Mazzon plateau is a splendid natural terrace facing west on the Adige Valley and bordered behind it by the Monte Corno hill. It is located at an altitude between 300 and 450 meters above sea level and covers a total of about 65 hectares, most of which are cultivated with Pinot Noir. The cultivation of the noble Burgundy grape variety in Mazzon has ancient origins: around 1870 , the Viennese scientist Ludwig Barth von Barthenau had the intuition to plant Pinot Noir in Mazzon , which adapted so well that it became the grape symbol of this now mythical parcel, considered the Italian Côte d'Or .

Mazzon's microclimate is very particular . It is always windy thanks to Ora, the wind of Lake Garda that channels itself and goes up the Adige Valley. A gentle breeze that refreshes the hot summer days, mitigates the cold winter temperatures and above all keeps the delicate bunches of Pinot Noir dry . On the Mazzon plateau the sun comes late to caress the vineyards, but then floods them generously with light and heat throughout the afternoon, until almost sunset. In the evening, the temperature drops quickly, thus causing, within the same day, considerable temperature variations which favor a gradual maturation of the grapes, with elegant, intense aromatic profiles and good acidity .

The soils have a rather varied composition and rest on a matrix of ancient glacial and river origin, rich in stones and minerals. There are also limestone rocks, coming from the decay of the Monte Corno dolomite, clays, sands and porphyry. They are draining and fairly poor soils, perfect for quality-oriented viticulture .
