Vineyard:
Poggio al Vento. Average height: 350 m above sea level. Planted in 1974.

Weather conditions:
A late and beautiful spring has favoured flowering and fruit set, causing a large production.A dry summer and temperatures widely above the average have drastically reduced theweight of the bunches. An accurate and rigorous green harvest has allowed a perfect maturation of the grapes.

Vinification:
Fermentation at controlled temperature below 30° C. 25 days of maceration in wide and short stainless steel tanks (greater contact between skins and must with a better polyphenolic extraction), daily punching down in the morning and pumping over in the evening.

Ageing:
4 years in Slavonian and French oak casks, followed by 2 years of refinement in bottle, all of this in a conditioned environment.

6.1 g/l
