The vineyards are trained using the Guyot system with a density of 5,200 vines per hectare and low yields. The roots draw nourishment from deep \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous-marl soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, which give the sip an orderly flavour profile and excellent balance. The soil composition enhances the \u003cstrong\u003earomatic finesse\u003c\/strong\u003e of the variety and ensures a \u003cstrong\u003esolid structural base\u003c\/strong\u003e, authentically expressing the connection with its place of origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification involves \u003cstrong\u003ealcoholic fermentation in steel\u003c\/strong\u003e at a controlled temperature.

Finally, it undergoes \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e for at least six months, which helps to stabilise the bright ruby colour with slight garnet reflections.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Bubbio, in the heart of the Asti Langa, \u003cstrong\u003eApertura\u003c\/strong\u003e is a refined tribute to the winemaking tradition signed by Colombo Cascina Pastori.
