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. Vintage 2007 yield: 71 q/ha. Manual harvest with rigorous selection of the bunches.
Vinification:
The grapes were picked from September 22nd to 23rd, 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 over 17 days at temperatures between 18 and 20°C. Malolactic fermentation was only partially done. Early bottling bottling in the middle of February.
