VINEYARD
The vineyards, which are between eight and thirty years old and trained on the Guyot system, are situated on the band of hillside between 200 and 350 meters above sea level, on opposite sides of the Esino valley. The soils go back to pleiocene-pleistocene formations, and are characterised by being very deep, medium-calcareous clay loams.
TRAINING SYSTEM
Guyot
YIELD PER HECTARE
The yield of the vineyards never exceeds 7 tons per hectare.
HARVEST
The harvest is carried out by hand and normally takes place in the period from the end of September to the first ten days of October. Particular attention is paid to determining the right moment for the harvest, which must coincide with reaching the best balance between sugar content, phenolic ripening and acidity.
VINIFICATION
After a light pressing, the prime must is rapidly cooled and then goes through static decantation. Fermentation, in temperature-controlled steel tanks between 16° and 18°C, for 10-15 days. The wine does not undergo a malolactic fermentation.
AGING
The wine ages in steel for about 5 months in contact with its own yeasts. It is bottled at the end of April and then rests again in bottle for few months.
