The vines grow at an altitude of about three hundred and sixty metres, rooted in \u003cstrong\u003ecomplex and fragile soil\u003c\/strong\u003e. The terrain alternates between Tortonian fossil marls, Serravallian clays and sandy deposits rich in iron. This geological architecture, combined with a \u003cstrong\u003econstantly ventilated microclimate\u003c\/strong\u003e, encourages balanced ripening of the grapes. These environmental conditions are directly reflected in the glass, giving the wine profound minerality and a solid structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins in autumn with a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e and careful selection of the bunches. Vinification involves fermentation in truncated conical vats, followed by maceration for about forty-five days, five of which are with the cap submerged. In spring, after malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine begins a slow \u003cstrong\u003eageing process in large Slavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, a fundamental step to harmonise its structural components. Bottling only takes place once \u003cstrong\u003eperfect organoleptic stability\u003c\/strong\u003e has been achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in the prestigious Ravera vineyard of Novello, this wine embodies the vision of \u003cstrong\u003eG.D.
