AMMAZZACONTE

Technical card

From our estates in Ripalta di Arcevia we select the best Verdicchio grapes to create this prestigious selection. The high elevation of the vineyards (400 mt. above sea level) and the considerable temperature range contribute to a full maturation of the grapes, allowing to express the distinctive characteristics of this grape variety. The grapes are late harvested by hand, manually selected on the vine, put in shallow cases and immediately brought to the cellar, where the entire grape undergoes gentle pressing. The obtained must flower is then left to ferment in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Around 10% of the total is refined in 500lt. French oak barrels for 6 months. Then is assembled, bottled and further sharpened in bottle for approximately 4/5 months.
