Pairings
Since 1640, some districts and some localities have been found, referred to in ancient documents, as follows such as the Pozze, Perlè, Laghi, Perlar, Masua, Le Quare, Paverno, Case soto al bosco, and of course Gnirega.
The manor house, located at 300 mt. altitude (it is mentioned in 1652 - owner was Bernardino Gherardini), was then built in the early 1600s and then expanded into its current form - twenty rooms, a large barn and a cellar - presumably in the mid-nineteenth century, as evidenced by the contours of tuff doors and windows, and some nineteenth-century frescoes inside the house.
The house in Gnirega is always open to children, relatives, guests and friends who find a warm welcome and "bread, salami and wine".
In the small basement cellar at the back of the house has always produced wine in small quantities, but in large barrels of carved wood. And it is in this cellar that Pietro Clementi, lawyer, practiced to produce wine from 1970 to 2004. Read more

| Harvest | The grapes are selected and harvested by hand at the end of September, and are left to dry in trays until February, to increase the percentage of aromas and phenolic compounds. |
| Wine making | They are then vinified in temperature-controlled steel tanks for about a week, where the must ferments. Pumpovers are carried out twice a day, and a delastage halfway through the fermentation process. The wine is then racked 5-6 times without being filtered. It is then rested first in oak barrels for about 36 months and then in second-passage barriques. It is then bottled 4/5 years later. |
| Aging | In French oak barrels for at least 3 years. |
