Rosso Classico Sannio DOP Solopaca

Farming of the Grapes

This wine is made from a combination of Sangiovese and Aglianico grapes grown in limestone-clay soils at an altitude of 200 - 350 m.a.s.l. in a limited area of ​​the town of Solopaca at the foot of the Regional Park Taburno-Camposauro. An espalier farming system is employed giving a yield of 100 qq/ha from vines with an average age between 10 and 25 years. The harvest takes place in the month of October.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and conferred to winery; there follows the de-stemming and soft pressing of the grapes. The vinification is carried out by maceration with the skins which are continuously re-submerged into the must; fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. The product is then aged in large oak casks for at least 18 months, with a short period in barrique. The aging process then continues in the bottle.
