ORIGIN

The vineyards are located in the municipality of Controguerra, about 260 metres a.s.l.

COMPOSITION OF SUBSOIL

Medium-textured soil, tending to clayey.

CHARACTERISTICS OF PLANT EQUIPMENT

Vineyards are trained with a 3m x 3m pergola abruzzese system, with approximately 1.100 stocks per hectare, in a hilly position.

TIMES OF HARVEST AND WINE-MAKING

Grapes are generally harvested during the first decade of October, and, after an accurate selection are stemmed and very softly crushed according the traditional “red” method, which includes a long-term maceration in stainless steel process tanks at a controlled temperature of 28°C . Once malolactic fermentation has taken place, wine ages inside Slavonian oak barrels (25 hl each) for approximately six months, after which bottling takes place. Bottle refining takes place for 2 to 3 months before the wine can be sold.

ANALYTICAL DATA

Alcohol 13 .50% vol.
