Vineyard

The vineyards, which are between six and thirty years old and trained on the Guyot system (simple and double), are situated on the band of hillsides between 150 and 300 metres above sea level. The soils tend to be clay loam, and represent the optimum for cultivating this variety.

Harvest

The harvest is carried out by hand and normally takes place in the period from the middle to the end of September. The maturation curves are constantly monitored in order to determine the exact date of the harvest, with the aim in particular of preserving a good acid profile, which represents the basis of this wine’s freshness.

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 the bottling.
