In the vineyard
In August the so-called green harvest is carried out, which consists of a selection of the bunches. The low production also makes it more difficult for many diseases to attack, guaranteeing an almost perfect health condition of the grapes. During the harvest, the grapes are selected and picked by hand and, taking advantage of the proximity of the cellar, in less than half an hour, they are passed on the destemmer-crusher.
In the cellar
The traditional classic fermentation system is adopted in thermo-controlled steel tanks, where it fermented and macerated for 21 days at a maximum temperature of 29° C. To obtain a nice body, an intense color but also a great freshness and fruitiness, pumping over, punching down and some delestage are carried out. After numerous decantings in steel tanks in spring it was placed in Slavonian oak barrels with an average capacity of 20 hl where it remained for 36 months, then re-assembled in a large steel tank and then bottled.
