Vinification | The grapes, harvested separately by variety, were destemmed, gently crushed and introduced into stainless steel tanks. The alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature between 26 and 28 °C in order to enhance the aromatic expression and preserve the fruity and floral notes of each variety; the maceration, managed with mechanical interventions aimed at extracting soft and sweet tannins, took about a week for Sangiovese and 12-15 days for the complementary varieties. |
Aging | At the end of the malolactic fermentation, completed by the end of winter for all varieties, the wine was blended and transferred to wood, where it matured for about nine months in large Slavonian oak barrels and, for a small portion, in barriques and in stainless steel tanks. |
