About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
This wine comes from Vigna Strada in the Bombolieri contrada, at 212 m above sea level. Across the contrada, the earth ranges from brown to white and has only a shallow surface layer of sand above solid limestone. Vigna Strada occupies the visibly white, more clay-limestone sector. Its technical soil profile is 15 cm of white sand mixed with limestone over compact bedrock. The vines average 25 years of age, are trained to spurred cordon and are planted at 4,500 vines per hectare. Farming is biodynamic and certified organic, without chemical intervention.
Grapes
Frappato.
Vinification
Harvest takes place during the first ten days of October. Fermentation occurs in cement tanks with indigenous yeasts, with 20 days of skin maceration.
