Harvest |
Hand picking in cases. Hand selection through three vibrating tables. |
Vinification |
Pre-fermentation cold maceration aim to extract sweet tannins, an essential prerogative for Sagrantino grapes. Fermentation is made under constant temperature through a modern system of temperature respecting tradition; pumpovers are frequent during the first days. After the first racking, wine settles inside stainless steel vats for few days, before going inside the barriques where it starts malolactic fermentation. Then it goes in big cask and starts ageing in bottle. |
Ageing |
Stainless steel vat, cask and glass for 5 years. |
Pairing |
Matched with structured dishes, red meat, game. It is a perfect companion of meditation even alone. |
