Vinification
and maturing wine

Our cellar is the place where the phase occurs maturity and aging of wine, phase in which the wine, resting in the barrels, acquires its most characteristic flavors.

Our Company opts for different types of aging according to the various types of wine to be offered to the final consumer: for wine white wine and the resè wine, being wines that must be consumed young and fresh, this period can only last a few months, at most two or three, while for Red wines important, this phase can last for many years.

For both whites, rosés and reds, a aging in steel barrels. I vini rossi, oltre ad un affinamento in acciaio, vengono affinati anche in botti di legno, come i nostri Piè di colle, La Rocca o Montalbe che effettuano un aging in wood, nel nostro caso Barrique oak, che va dai 12 fino ai 30 mesi.

La microporosità del legno permette lentissimi scambi di ossigeno che causano variazioni del colore, del profumo e del gusto del vino

Tutte le fasi di vinificazione e maturazione del vino sono periodicamente controllate dal nostro enologo e dagli addetti alla cantina che regolarmente effettuano test sul vino per garantirne la corretta maturazione.
