This wine, whose name has been inspired by the annual capture of wild hares bred in the natural setting of the vineyards, is the expression of an organic agriculture that has renounced to any product or procedure damaging nature, rediscovering the great values of an antique wine-growing process. The wine is made with a selection of Teroldego and Syrah grapes. It follows the traditional vinification methods and it is refined for 12 months in oak barrels.

F. Tasker, The Miami Herald: "Light and bright, with flavor of raspberry and cloves"

M Bedford, Edge Food & Drink: "I've been recently enamored with La Cattura, an organic wine that is at once fruity and light, without compromising a well-balanced character"
