Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from Guyot-trained vines in hillside vineyards at Tenuta Caseo in Oltrepò Pavese, Lombardy. The sites face south-southwest and have clay soils with a substantial presence of active limestone.
Tenuta Caseo covers 120 hectares, comprising 90 hectares of vineyards and 30 hectares of woodland. The vineyards are managed under an integrated production system designed for environmentally sustainable farming.
Grapes
100% Pinot Nero.
Vinification
The grapes undergo soft pressing to extract only a small amount of color. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats for 15 days. The prise de mousse lasts 10 days at 17°C.
Ageing
The wine matures on the yeasts for 30 days in pressurized tanks.
