For this wine the work in the vineyard is the most important factor. With a very low yield, averaging 40-45hl/ha, we manage to achieve the optimal concentration of taste and flavours that ensures a long bottle ageing and maintains the complex fruit notes that distinguishes this wine.
As the Cabernet Sauvignon ripens 2–3 weeks after the Merlot the fermentation and barriques ageing are done separately. The single varieties are fermented after 10-12 days maceration and then aged for 12 months in partly new, partly second and partly third year barriques.
