VARIETY: Pelaverga Piccolo.


GEOLOGICAL AREA: from three vineyard sites in the
village of Verduno: Silio (southeast at 280 m. a.s.l.),
Campasso (east at 250-300 m. a.s.l.), and Neirane (east at
210 m. a.s.l.). Planted on chalky-white, rather sandy soils.


VINEYARD: we use the espalier training system with
Guyot pruning. The vineyards range in age from 10 to 35
years old. The planting density is 4,200 vines per hectare
and yields are 90 quintals per hectare. Harvest in
mid-September.


VINIFICATION: The grapes are crushed and left in
contact with their skins for eight days in
temperature-controlled, stainless-steel tanks in which
temperatures are not allowed to exceed 25°C. Delicate
pumpovers ensure that enough oxygen is introduced to
ensure the must is well blended while stimulating the
fermentative and enzymatic processes thus favoring the
development of aromas, in particular floral and pepper
notes.


AGING: stainless-steel tanks for 5-6 months.
