Vineyard:
The soil is rich of calcareous clay marl and sand on the south and southeast, which allows to obtain a very high quality.
Training system: Guyot
Vineyard density: 5200 plants per hectare
Harvest: First half of October
Yield per hectare: 55hl/Ha
WINEMAKING:
During the vinification we try to exalt the characteristics of Nebbiolo grapes and to have the maximum extraction of noble components: we obtain that with a prolonged maceration and with
particular attention to fermentation temperatures (max. 28°C) to protect the taste and olfactory freshness. The grapes get destalked and soft pressed. To the alcoholic fermentation, which lasts 10/12 days, it follows a further maceration on the skins for 8/10 days. After that, IMMA is aged for 12 months in big French oak barrels.
