About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Ceralti’s vineyards in Bolgheri cover approximately 9 hectares and undergo periodic selection. One hectare is reserved for experimental winemaking.

Vinification

The 2009 grapes were harvested and sorted by hand from late September to early October. Fermentation took place at a controlled temperature for 18 days, followed by malolactic fermentation on the lees in oak barrels for 3 months.

Ageing

Ageing continued in bottle for an unspecified period.

Label / history

The Ceralti estate has belonged to the same Italian family for several generations and is now owned by Walter Alfeo and his son Iacopo.
