San Pietro in Cariano (Verona). |
| Vinification |
The carefully selected bunches, harvested in plateaus, are transported to the drying lofts, where they remain for about 120 days under optimal temperature, humidity and ventilation conditions. The drying process enriches the grapes in sugar concentration up to 24-25°B and in polyphenolic and aromatic compounds. At the end of January, crushing is followed by a pre-fermentation maceration at 5°C for about 7 days. Then a slow fermentation phase begins for 25 days at a controlled temperature of 18-22°C followed by further 5 days of post-fermentative maceration at 24°C. The pre-fermentative maceration gives a high glycerine content, which increases its importance and softness. Finally, the post-fermentative maceration gives balance and fullness and, above all, achieves the desired complexity. |
