About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The fruit comes from the Serra vineyard in the commune of Neive. The vines were planted in 1986 and 1996 on calcareous clay soils, at a density of 5,000 vines per hectare.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested in September. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel rotary fermenters, with the must remaining for 8–9 days at 28–30 °C. The wine is bottled without filtration to preserve its flavour and aroma.
Ageing
The wine ages for 18 months in Slavonian oak barrels.
Serving and pairing
Decant for 1–2 hours before serving.
Vintage notes
The 2009 growing season was warm, allowing the grapes to reach full ripeness.
