| Origin |
Vineyards of the Villa da Vinci estate, owned by Cantine Leonardo da Vinci |
| Vinification |
The grapes are harvested by hand, placed in small containers and left to dry on straw mats in well-ventilated, dry rooms until the February following the harvest. Drying increases the sugar levels of the grapes to 16% alcohol with a residual sugar content of 90 g/l. The dried grapes are pressed and vinified in the traditional way. |
| Ageing |
The resulting must is racked into small oak barrels, known as 'caratelli', where it remains for four years to ferment slowly due to the high sugar levels, and where it ages. The caratelli are kept in the vinsantaia, which is subject to extreme changes in temperature during winter and summer. |
