Vineyard and terroir
The Pignoletto comes from Podere Casetta, with north-west exposure. The wine page identifies clay soil, while the technical sheet refines this to clay that is partly stony. The vines average 15 years of age and yield 100 quintals per hectare (10 t/ha).
Grapes

Vinification
The grapes are gently pressed and fermented at a controlled 16 °C. Secondary fermentation takes place in an autoclave at 15–16 °C using selected yeast strains.
Ageing
A brief period on the lees follows secondary fermentation.
