Production Notes
Production Notes
The grapes were cold settled, crushed and destemmed, to prevent any tertiary flavours from the stalks. The fruit was then cooled to a temperature of 14 C° before being gently pressed. The must was decanted and separated by cold settling at 8°C. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts and lasted for three weeks at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, before being aged for four to five months. Made in an unoaked style to allow the Pecorello variety to be fully expressed.
