Produced with Cortese grapes from the village Rovereto. The vines, trained with guyot method, are approximately 20-25 years old and yield an average of 3.96-4.4 tones per acre. The harvest usually takes place in early September. The grapes, handpicked, are quickly cooled down using dry ice and are immediately taken to the winery. The “Free Run” juice, which is the finest part of the must, is collected in low-temperature vats for 24 hours to clarify. The rest is soft pressed and goes into special vats at very low temperature with the skins to macerate for few hours. This process is called “crio-maceration” and increase the extraction of perfumes from the skins. At this point the two musts are blended together and all the juice goes in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats for fermentation.
