THE WINERY
The winery is divided into two different areas, or sections. One for vinification
and one for aging.
AGING CELLAR
The aging cellar (80 sq.m.) occupies the space where the old stables were, on the
ground floor of the old farmhouse with its thick stone walls.
The original architectural and structural features have been maintained and offset
with skilled renovation. The space is air-conditioned.
The aging of the wines takes place in 5 hectolitre barrels of French oak and in
French and Slavonian oak barrels of capacities ranging from 10 to 40 hectolitres
according to the aging periods.
VINIFICATION WINERY
The winery (80 sq.m.) is in a newly built basement giving on to the ground floor
on one side, with well insulated walls and ceilings finished off on the outside
in the traditional materials (local stone and old tiles), It is equipped with stainless
steel vats in varying sizes (from 80 to 15 hectolitres with a total capacity of
320 hectolitres) all endowed with automatic temperature control (hot-cold) with
an electronic switchboard that commands every single vat autonomously. The winery
is also equipped with an air conditioning system. For the pressing of the marc we
chose the traditional hydraulic press in a wooden cage. The de-stemmer, crusher
and pump are the latest models.
