From Vineyard To Cellar
Vineyard
The vines are between six and thirty years old, and are trained using long pruning systems (guyot, capovolto). The soils generally tend towards clay loam.
Harvest
The harvest is carried out by hand and normally takes place in the period from the middle to the end of September for Trebbiano grapes, whilst Chardonnay grapes are harvested around end August.
Vinification
After gentle pressing, the prime must undergoes cold static decantation. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel tanks with the temperature maintained at between 14º and 16°C, for about 8-10 days. A brief ageing period in steel of about three months is followed by sterile cold bottling.
