Steel (100%)
Storage:
New oak (20%) 18 months
Old oak (80%) 18 months
Winemaker:
IGNAZIO DOMENICO GIOVINE
Traditional vinification in steel vats is immediately followed by the first racking and by the the storage of 100% of the product in oak casks having a capacity of 300, 2,000 or 3,400 litres each, about 50% small barrels and 50% large barrels, both french oak. A second racking is performed between July and August, based upon the wine's evolution, while the third takes place in late September: In the final stage, all the wine is left to age in large oak casks exclusively. Total oak ageing takes 17/18 months.
