of the soil characterizes its natural balance
The estate’s
production philosophy aims at obtaining the highest quality
with a special respect for the environment and for the
genuineness of its vines.
The analysis of the soil, the careful selection of the clones
and of the rootstock, the high density of the vine stock of
about 5000 logs per hectares, the management of the soil by a
careful covering with grass and its green manure, and
furthermore the thinning out of clusters during the ripening
of the grapes, these are all choices and acts aimed at
obtaining the best quality in the vineyard. |
