Vineyard and terroir
The Pignoletto comes from Podere Casetta, with north-west-facing vineyards. The wine page describes clay soil, while the technical sheet specifies clay and limestone. 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. The Pignoletto cuvée then undergoes secondary fermentation in an autoclave at 15 °C for approximately 30 days using the Charmat method.
Ageing
Approximately 120 days on the lees follow the secondary fermentation.
