Description

The grapes are selected from vineyards located in Castiglione Tinella. The vineyards are planted with 5,500 plants per hectare, which are almost 35 years old with yields of 85-90 qt/ha. Type of Soils are mainly based on limestone. The grapes are crushed, pressed and clarified with a flotation system. Alcoholic fermentation occurs just few weeks before the bottling where we add yeast and temperature is increased up to 12°-14°. the fermentation takes place in stainless steel autoclave on the way to preserve the natural CO2 from the fermentation. The fermentation is stopped at 5/5,5% Alc by reducing the temperature. There is no malolactic fermentation which preserves acidity, varietal fruit character and freshness.
