About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the Tornamira vineyard near Feudo Disisa. The Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon vines grow in clay soils, with an average yield of 60 quintals/ha. The estate’s approximately 150 ha of vineyards are divided among nine microzones with differing exposures, slopes and elevations. Temperature variation, abundant sunshine and good ventilation create a range of microclimates.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimum ripeness and selected before fermentation. Fermentation takes place at a controlled 25–27 °C, followed by 10 days of maceration. Malolactic fermentation is completed in steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine matures in French barriques for 18 months, followed by at least one year in bottle in the winery’s cellars.
