Vino Nobile is produced with selected grapes from vineyards at least 10 years of age that are
mainly planted on red, sandy and mineral soils to give the wine a great deal of character and aging
potential. Varieties used: 85% Sangiovese Prugnolo Gentile, 15% Canaiolo, Colorino and Mammolo.
The grapes are picked manually and transported in crates. After de-stemming and soft pressing, they are fermented in oak vats filled to no more than two-thirds of their capacity. Indigenous yeast is used in the fermentation process that lasts about a week at controlled temperatures from 28 to 30 degrees.
Short manual re-passing of the must and pomace is completed in the initial phase. Pulping continues, where possible, for another 5 to 8 days after fermentation.
This wine is aged in Allier or Slavonian oak casks of capacity ranging from 5 to 35 hectoliters, where malolactic fermentation occurs. Maturation takes from 18 to 24 months. Before the release our Nobile ages in the bottle for several months.
The aging potential of our Nobile is a few decades, so the optimum maturation period we
recommend varies, depending on the vintage, from the fifth to the eighth year after harvest.
