VINIFICATION METHOD
The Sangiovese must is vinified in white with a soft pressing to obtain free-run must.
Subsequently, a second fermentation is carried out with natural fermentation in an autoclave using the Martinotti method.
TERRAIN CHARACTERISTICS
Our Sangiovese vineyards were planted in 2005 and 2006 in medium-textured soils with a prevalence of clay with sand and silt. The surface area is approximately 5 hectares.
The grapes come from the Poggio estate in the hills of San Pietro di Ozzano in the Colli d'Imola DOC area in the province of Bologna at an altitude that varies between 80 and 170 m above sea level.
The orientation of the rows varies depending on the plots with a prevalence of north-south.
The land is located in an area with a favorable microclimate.
In summer the temperature range from night to day is high and is optimal for obtaining high quality grapes and full-bodied wines characterized by high acidity and therefore freshness.
