SOIL TYPOLOGY Strong presence of calcareous areas rich in marl and stones and partially clayey
VINIFICATION Careful selection and hand-sorting of the bunches. Soft pressing and destemming of the grapes. Primary fermentation in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature (29-30 degrees) without the addition of external yeasts. Maceration on the skins for 12-15 days for the Cabernet S. and for about 15-18 days for the Sangiovese, with successive phases of pumping over and delestage to soften and refine the tannins. Malolactic fermentation takes place in steel tanks and is completed by mid-November.
