Description
Microclimate: The climate is typically Mediterranean, with showers concentrated in autumn and spring. The middle hill area is frequently windy, which is ideal to keep the vines healthy. The climate is generally mild, with a high rate of sunny days during the whole vegetative phase: these conditions guarantee a gradual and complete ripening of the grapes.
Production Process: Manual harvest when the grapes are perfectly ripe. Alcoholic fermentation with controlled temperature (26°C) for about 15 days on the skins. Malolactic fermentation in steel vats. Refining in 2500lt Slavonian oak barrels for 48 months and in 225 lt French oak barrels for 20 months. Further refining in bottles for 6 months before the sale
