- vinification
-
Corvina (33%), Corvinone (33%) and Rondinella (33%). The grapes are harvested by hand and dried in special drying rooms for 90-100 days. The grapes are then pressed and fermented together with the pellets in stainless steel vats for 30-40 days. Every day the grapes are pumped over and the pellets are mixed with the juice to obtain maximum extraction. The wine is then transferred to a mix of 2nd and 3rd year barrels where it matures for another 8 to 10 years.
