Additional Information:
All individual steps are followed and cared with attention to detail.
The harvest: grapes are picked by hand at the right level of phenolic ripeness and transported in boxes to the winery.
De–stemming: very delicate in grapes and subsequent crushing with calibrated pressure of the berries.
Fermentation: with selected yeasts, at a controlled temperature in steel, with pumping over and delestage.
Fining: in the first phase in steel, later in barrels with medium toasing and terracotta jar.
Bottling: is done without too narrow filtration operations, that while making the wine brilliant, would weaken unambiguously its structure.
During the evolution in the bottle any sediment formed by crystallization of potassium salts, naturally contained in grapes, are to be considered a spontaneous manifestation of a wine with powerful structure and high concentration, also accentuated by aging in earthenware.
