Description
History
The company extends for approximately 20 hectares on the hills that dominate the area between Mugello and Valdisieve in the municipality of Dicomano. Of the estate, 6 hectares are dedicated to vineyards with organic farming practices. The agricultural company was founded in 2014 when the Foscarini family took possession of it and decided to dedicate a large part of it to vineyards, recovering the original 3 hectares of Sangiovese and Gamay vines and planting new Pinot Noir vines in 2016, as well as a variety of aromatic whites including Riesling, Moscato, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier.
Grapes used
Sangiovese 100%
Production method
The boxes are used to manually harvest the grapes, which are subjected to careful selection in the field through various steps. Subsequently, the grapes are destemmed and crushed and vinified separately. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, keeping the wine vessels at temperatures below 30°C thanks to the refrigeration bands. During fermentation, short daily pumpovers are performed, along with one or two delestages per tank. Racking generally occurs after approximately 15 days of maceration.
