Production Notes
Production Notes
Late (excluding the Trebbianello variety, 5%). Harvest takes place in the first or second week of October in order to obtain a long (concentrated) phenolic maturation on the vine. The grapes are harvested by hand and a careful selection of the ripe bunches is
required when they are in a perfect condition. The grapes are fermented together to express the character of the territory to the utmost. Fermentation takes place cold, with a long period on the natural yeasts until May.
