The estate in Cipresseta, near the winery at Gaggiano, whose slender trees adorn the artistic label, is known to local farmers as San Lorenzo.
TYPE OF SOIL: Limestone-calcareous soil with presence of alberese.
TRAINING SYSTEM: Guyot and spurred cordon.
HARVEST: Harvested between late September and early October.
WINEMAKING METHOD: After three–four weeks of cold pre-fermentation, the perfectly ripe, healthy clusters are traditionally fermented with maceration on the skins.Judicious pumping-over is performed during the phase of temperature controlled fermentation (25–27 °C).
The wine ages in the cellar for a short period to bring out itsfresh, velvety nature to the full.
Ruby hue with purple nuances, tending to garnet over time. On the nose, marked berry aromas join forces with floral hints of Parma violet and gladiolus. In the mouth, we find rounded, clean, full flavour, with a well managed tannic finish and attractive, lingering notes of wild berry jam and almond.
