Origin North-east of Verona, on the hill that separates Montorio from Valle d’Illasi.
Climate Very particular vintage, the Springtime and the beginning of summer were quite cold and the grapes maturation was delayed till July, when in a couple of weeks there were very high temperatures, almost a record. But after this, the season followed up with temperatures and humidity really lower than usual and this let the grapes develop a thicker skin and great acidities. This is the reason why, the several rains during the harvest didn’t compromise too much the general quality.
Soil composition Calcareous with red clay in the vineyards Il Perlar and Palazzina, white clay and tufo in Monte del Drago.
No. plants per hectare 6000
Harvest Harvest: from September 3rd to October 10th.
Vinification Maceration and fermentation on the skin for 12-15 days on a 20 -26° C temperature. Periodic pumping over, malolactic fermentation, transfer into 225 liters to 500 litrers barrels of various origins and essence.
