Hand harvest in the first two weeks of October. To

decide the right moment of the harvest, Stefano Mantellini, the owner of

the company, almost every day tastes the grapes from different lines of the

vineyard, following mainly the sensory analysis of the skins, the pits and

the pulp.

A second strict selection of the grapes is made before the

destemming process; than the must is poured in small stainless steel vats.

Fermentation lasts in between 18 and 30 days depending on the clone and

grape quality of the vintage. The first refinement is of a period of 6 months

in stainless steel vats and for the two-thirds of the wine will follow a 12/18

months period in French new oak barriques. To assure the final balance

between the two parts, the wine is conveyed for an additional year of aging

in old barriques. Finally, before the sale, will be kept at least 6 months in

bottles.

A Cabernet Sauvignon outside of any trend. Is the result of

the research of a perfect balance between the traditional flavors and the

read fruits taste. A rich wine of intense ruby red color with violet nuances,

with a fine bouquet of red fruits, vanilla and spices. Of ample and clean

flavor, it has an elegant fruity and spicy taste underlined by a

well-balanced tannin.
