| Vendor | Santadi |
| Origin | The vineyards are located in the area around the municipality of Santadi |
| Climate | Warm-arid in summer, temperate in winter. |
| Soil composition | Soils tend to be medium-textured: sandy, clayey. |
| Cultivation system | Espalliera |
| Harvest | To maintain the acidity and freshness of the grapes, harvesting begins in mid/late August, by hand, in boxes and in the cool hours of the morning |
| Wine making | After harvesting, the grapes undergo a classic white vinification process. They are softly pressed with a maximum yield of 50% in free-run must, which is left to decant for 24 hours. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature for a week, after which the base matures for 6-7 months on the fine lees in steel vats. Secondary fermentation in the bottle is carried out with selected yeasts at a constant temperature of 12°C for about 40 days, and maturation continues for at least 18 months with continuous remuage. |
| Aging | In the last phase, the degorgement or disgorgement, a special liquer is used, typical for our product, capable of enhancing the characteristics of the grapes of origin. This is followed by further ageing in the bottle for at least 6 months before marketing. |
