Winemaking

This wine is produced with Montepulciano grapes cultivated on young vineyards in Nocciano, following the principles of organic farming. The grapes are destemmed, hyper oxygenated and

chilled at T° 5-8°C. After about 15 hours of cryomaceration, the must is transferred and the skins are softly pressed. The must is then clarified by decanting and 10% is fermented in wooden barrels at a

controlled temperature of 16°C.

After fermentation, the 2 wine masses are reassembled. During this period, repeated Batonage is carried out so that the lees are always suspended in the wine. At the end of this period, the wine is racked into steel tanks and stored at a temperature of about 12°C to maintain all its organoleptic qualities intact. After a short period of storage in steel, the wine is

stabilized, filtered and bottled.

In particular, the application of this technique of wine making by oxygenation of Must, makes it possible to use very low doses of sulphites for the storage of wine.
