VineyardsThe selected vineyards are exclusively devoted to this wine, and grapes are not selected for raisining. The vineyards are located in Avesa and Parona and the soil is of medium and somewhat stoney consistency. The vines are the youngest trained according to the Guyot system with a density of 5,000 plants/hectare.
VinificationThe grapes are manually harvested and selected during the first week of October. They are immediately crushed and left to ferment at controlled temperatures for 10 days. Pumping-over is repeated until sugar content is exhausted. Alcoholic fermentation is followed by malolactic fermentation in steel tanks and the wine is then aged for six/eight months in used vats. This is followed by a brief standing in steel before being bottled in August of the year after harvest.
AgingAging continues in bottles for at least another six months before the wine is ready for marketing. Appropriately stored bottles evolve correctly for up to five years after harvest.
