Winemaker:
Castello di Meleto
The grapes, carefully selected in the single vineyard and hand-harvested, are destemmed and gently pressed. The must is sent to fermentation at controlled temperature. Once the alcoholic fermentation is over, the wine remains in contact with the skins for 15-20 days. Then, malolactic fermentation begins and the wine ages at least 27 months in 50 hl French oak barrels. Minimum aging in the bottle: 6 months
