ADDITIONAL NOTES: Gentle, progressive pressing of the grape clusters, with fractionation of the musts for the Pinot Noir vinified as a white wine; for the Pinot Noir vinified as a rosé, the grapes undergo a cold soak for approximately 24 hours, followed by gentle pressing. Alcoholic fermentation of the musts takes place in steel tanks, with a 6-month maturation period on the lees. A small portion of the Pinot Noir is vinified as a red wine, involving a fermentation maceration period of about 7 days.
The *cuvée* is prepared in the spring following the harvest, consisting exclusively of wines from that single vintage. A second fermentation occurs in the bottle, followed by a minimum of 5 years of aging on the lees, with an additional 6 months of maturation after disgorgement.
100% Pinot Noir, sourced from the estate-owned Quindicipiò and Gaspa vineyards—both characterized by high-density planting (10,000 vines per hectare).
