“Gobbio” Botticino DOC 2018

Gobbio is a Botticino DOC red wine, born in the vineyards owned by the winery, in the hilly amphitheater where the famous “Botticino Classico” marble is extracted. The particular and unique soil, rich in marl (limestone and clay), calcium carbonate, silt and sand, characterizes this wine obtained from Barbera and Sangiovese, Marzemino and Schiava Gentile grapes, as per regulations. The ideal microclimate that forms inside the amphitheater, and the constant breeze that prevents humidity from stagnating, allow us to implement a Organic anti-parasitic fight and to harvest when the grapes are perfectly ripe, considerably limiting the use of sulphites. After the hand harvest at the beginning of October, the grapes are left to macerate for 14 days. This will be followed by maturation in multi-passage, medium-capacity wooden barrels for approximately 24 months and rest in concrete barrels for approximately 5 months.
