Growing Conditions
Here we are located in a special area of our estate, in "Contrada Carranco" where we have selected a vineyard to be produced individually. We have in fact identifed the even more suitable area of the district, in the plot further north, in the middle of the basalt rocks. The peculiarity is that here there is an old vineyard that is unique: bush training vines planted on small terraces. Vineyard Exposure: North Altitude: 500 metres above sea level Soil: Volcanic Vine Training System: Bush training
Harvest
End of September
Winemaking
After the harvest, our Carricante grapes are de-stemmed and pressed. A cold static decantation is then carried out to clarify the must, before starting a partial fermentation in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 15-16 ° C. Subsequently, after 3-4 days of fermentation, the wine is transferred to 225lt oak barrels to nish the alcoholic fermentation.
Aging
The wine then ends its refinement period in French oak barrels toasted for "smoke" for 8/12 months before bottling.
Appearance
Straw yellow with greenish highlights.
