Grape varieties |
50% Corvinone, 30% Corvina, 20% Rondinella |
Climate |
Altitude: 350 m. a.s.l. Exposure: south, south west. |
Soil composition |
Medium textured soil, calcareus. |
Harvest |
The grapes are placed in wooden boxes in the vineyards themselves and must ensure optimal quality, ripeness and well-separated bunches. They are then kept until February in integral and healthy condition. Over these months, a physiological reduction of around 60/65% takes place involving important conversion and concentration. |
Vinification |
“Piè di couve” exclusively with native yeasts helps activate all fermentation stages in 40 hl vats. Low seasonal temperatures ensure that this stage lasts for more than a month, during which time continual rack and return and manual wine-crushing procedures ensure the best extraction of the goodness and elegance of the skins. |
Ageing |
In 5/25 hl French oak barrels for about 4 years. |
