Characteristics:
Production Area
> On the right bank of the Po river in the south of Lombardy region,
extends a land of gently sloping hills characterized by extremely
favourable climatic and geomorphological conditions for growing
grapes.
> It has a temperate climate with high temperature range, dry in the
winter and breezy in the summer.
> The soil is sedimentary with marl made up of equal parts of limestone
and clay.
Production Process
> The grapes are hand-picked and destemmed. The must is left in
contact with the skins for 24 hours at 5 °C. The cold maceration
favors the extraction of color substances and the primary aromas of
the grapes.
> The must is separated from the skins using soft pressing. The
fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 18 °C.
> The base wine undergoes a second fermentation according to the
Martinotti method, in cuve close at 14 °C with the addition of selected
yeasts. The wine is left in contact with the lees and finally is filtered
and bottled.
> Before being put on the market, it is left in the cellar until it
re-establishes its balance which has been momentarily lost during the
slightly stressing phase of the bottling.
