Species of vine: Nebbiolo, Michet and Lampia varieties.<\/p>\n
Vineyard: \u201cCicala\u201d vineyard, in Bussia (Monforte d’Alba).<\/p>\n
Harvest: manual, with grapes selection in the vineyard.<\/p>\n
Time of harvest: mid-October.<\/p>\n
Vinification: red, with skin soaking inside stainless steel vats. The must stays on contact with the skins for 30 days: during this time the alcoholic VINIFICATION gets fully complete, and the wine is then drawn off.<\/p>\n
Cellar refining: The new wine is racked several times before transfer to large Slavonia oak casks where it is aged and refined for 28 months.<\/p>\n
Notes: the vineyard \u201cCicala\u201d [meaning: balm-cricket] is about 40-45 years old and its vines are replanted from time to time. The main variety of Nebbiolo is Lampia and its rootstock is Rupestris du Lot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
