GRAPE VARIETIES
65% Corvina, 15% Corvinone + 10% Rondinella + 10% other varieties
VINEYARDS
12 hectars located in Bastia, exactly on the valley
between the Val d’Alpone and Val d’Illasi. The shaley clay – subalkaline land, is formed in a broad plateau
with slight slopes, produced by the alteration of limestone formations and in particular the white and red scales.
The volcano (basalt) is non-existent.
Altitude: 450m/above sea level.
HARVEST
Hand picked during the last two weeks of September and lay to dry in small boxes in “fruttaio”.
FERMENTATION AND MATURATION
The grapes are allowed to dry gently in well-ventilated rooms for around 4-5 months, concentrating their flavours, sweetness and colour. In winter, the grapes are crushed, fermentation starts with natural yeast
and then the must is filled into 500-1000 lt oak barrels to finish fermenting. The wine matures in wood for 30-36 months before bottling.
AT FIRST GLANCE: Intense ruby red colour
ON THE NOSE: Red ripe fruit, small woodland fruits
ON THE PALATE: Rich, refined, elegant.
