Vintage 2004
Production area:
Montalcino (Siena), near the small village of Sant'Angelo in Colle. Hilly vineyards with southern exposition.
Vineyard:
Average height above sea level of 250 meters
Grapes:
Pinot Grigio. Manual harvest with rigorous selection of the bunches. Vintage 2004 yield: 70 q/ha.
Vinification:
The grapes were picked from 7th to 13th September, only in the early morning hours to avoid high temperatures. Soft pressing was followed by an overnight decanting of the juice to allow the settlement of rough impurities, at a temperature of 12 - 14°C, without any use of SO2. The juice was then aerated a few times to remove the pink colour of this variety in a natural way. Fermentation took place for 20 days at temperatures between 18 and 22°C. Malolactic fermentation was only partially done. Early bottling at the beginning of february.
