| Soil composition |
Sandstone and pelite soil, very rich of fine gravel, sand and small cobblestone; very rich of humus. The clay layer and silt give soil a good water content, drained from cobblestone and gravel. This soil came from carbonatic land orogenesis, called “fossa bradanica”. |
| Cultivation system |
Free standing espalier (controspalliera libera in Italian), from Rudolf Steiner’s book “The philosophy of freedom”. |
| Harvest |
Hand-picking grapes, half October. |
| Vinification |
After destemming and soft crushing grapes, must ferments spontaneously thanks to a pied de cuve of native yeasts, the only ones which increase the expression of our Terroir. After 20-30 days of maceration with the skins, at the end of alcoholic fermentation, wine is soft pressed in order to separate it from grape skins. Natural fining and stabilization, no fining agents added. No filtration. |
| Ageing |
6 months in steel tanks, 2-3 months in large wooden barrels and at least 3 months in bottle. Malolactic fermentation takes place during aging. Very low amount of sulphur dioxide added before bottling. |
| Pairing |
Ideal for pasta with ragù, or soft and fresh cheeses, vegetables and beans soups. |
