This wine is made by 75% of Corvina and 25% of Corvinone grapes with a very little percentage of Rondinella all picked at the end of September. The vineyards are cared in all the passages. The trees are pruned during winter time to balance the production of the grapes. The integrated pest management is applied to keep the natural balance of the vineyard. It is also applied the permanent grassing to guarantee an efficient erosion. There is a cold maceration at 5°C for 3 days to extract the polyphenolic characteristics. It follows the steel fermentation with a gradual thermic augmentation from 20-22°c to 28-30°C. There is a short passage in French barrels of first and second passage and it follows the bottling in March.
