VINIFICATION AND REFINING — The harvest of selected grapes is carried out by hand using boxes and sent to the cellars where whole bunches are pressed. The must from the pressing, characterized by the absence of rotation of the press and by the slow, gradual increase in pressure, is put in a stainless steel tank for a light cold settling and after 24 hours, 50% of the product is distributed in steel barrels and 50% in Hungarian oak barriques chosen for alcoholic fermentation. After 8 months of refinement in barriques, characterized by a very fine wood and by a very light toasting of the fruit on the final product, the finished wine is bottled. The result is a wine of exceptional finesse, full bodied and with an intrinsic freshness guaranteed by good acidity which gives the wine its structure. The final note leaves all the flavors of the Collio region on the palate, as the wine comes from a vineyard which has excellent minerals and salinity.
