Vinification
The Corvina grapes are manually selected during the harvest.
The selected grapes then undergo a drying process called
“appassimento” which consists in placing the grapes in special
boxes inside a room equipped with ventilators, to maintain a
constant temperature and humidity. During this process,
grapes lose 35% of their weight, but retain and enhance their
unique flavors and aromas. When the sugar content reaches
the level desired, the vinification can then undergo in stainless
steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Part of the grapes are
aged in oak and acacia new barriques for a period of 12
months, while the remaining part is kept in steel in order to
preserve the spicy characteristics of the Corvina. After ageing,
the two components are blended and bottled, completing their
rest in the bottle for a further 3 months.
