VINIFICATION:
In the last ten days of
September the perfect ripeness
of the grapes is reached and
winemaking process starts
from the vine. The withering
process takes place in the
vineyard by cutting the petiole
of grapes but leaving them on
the vine for about 15-20 days,
during this period 50% of their
weight evaporate. This will
allow for wines with typical
notes of ripe fruits, such as
plums and raisins. The handpicked grapes are pressed and
the fermented. The skins are
left in contact with the must
for a long period to extract
flavours and the characteristic
red colour. Subsequently the
wine is left to complete the
malolactic fermentation; this
contributes to the peculliar
complexity of this wine.
