Knowing that great wines are available only if you have special and favorable soil and climate, and we in Petrolo we are fortunate to have them, only then with a manic and manual labor in the vineyard, which ranges from winter pruning, the binding and then the various stages of cleaning of the screws until the green harvest (in oil in two phases, one after flowering and after 'veraison) you can get the vines to produce not only very limited but also in balance. It is this equilibrium that will bring the plants and harvesting the grapes to ripen fully and then of course you see in the wine in a perfect harmony between fruit and acidity and persistence on the palate. |
