Description

The wine is obtained from Greco grapes from Vigna Cicogna, at an altitude of 400/450m and east/west exposure. The vineyard is characterized by mixed clayey – sandy limestone soil with underlying sulphurous veins. The harvest for these old 40/60 year old vines is carried out manually in mid-October. Vinified with soft pressing, the free-run must, rigorously protected from oxygen, is clarified by natural sedimentation. Maturation is carried out for 5/7 months in steel on fine lees regularly resuspended in the wine. Finishing a couple of months in the bottle.
