Winemaking

This wine is the result of a knowing touch of international grape varieties, grown in the vineyards belonging to the municipality of Roddi. Grapes are harvested separately when fully ripe, and then left to ferment at at a temperature of 18-26 °C. The drawing-off process takes place once fermentation is complete.

Ageing

After malolactic fermentation the wines are left to age in small oak barrels (third of new ones, a third of second passage and a third of third passage) for about 12 months. The various components are then blended and harmonize during this phase, creating something new and peculiar.
