Vintage
The 2020 vintage was characterized by a cool spring with late rains which ensured the vineyard had a good water reserve in the soil. The summer was characterized by high daytime temperatures, but the water reserve, the ventilated and dry climate and the excellent excursion ending between day and night were determining factors that ensured perfect ripening of the grapes.
Harvest
The grapes are hand-picked and transported to the winery in crates using small carts and tractors. The grapes are hand-picked at harvest time. The 2020 harvest took place on 5 September.
Vinification and Ageing
Once bunches are destemmed, the grapes are placed in the fermenting vat, alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature (26°). After racking, the wine obtained undergoes malolactic fermentation in the same tanks. At the end of the fermentation the wine goes in in fine-grained French oak barriques for about 12 – 15 months. The wine ages in bottle for at least one year before being sold on the market.
