Origin From company vineyards located in Paderno Franciacorta, Rodengo Saiano, Erbusco and Cologne (Brescia).
Cultivation system Guyot at 90/100 cm from the ground.
Plants per hectare 4,500-5,000.
Yield per hectare About 10,000kg/h
Harvest Selection of grapes in the vineyard with manual harvesting in boxes of maximum 18 kg.
Wine making Blank pressing in pneumatic press with soft pressing of the whole grapes and separation of the 1st and 2nd fractions. After static and physical separation from the impurities of the must at low temperatures, selected yeasts are inoculated for fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This is followed by racking and lowering the temperature to about 10 ° C to avoid malolactic fermentation. Once the "draught syrup" has been added, the wine is bottled, corked with a crown cap and laid down in a pile for frothing.
Aging Ageing in bottle: minimum 24 months.
Allergens Contains sulphites
