The vineyards are south facing and the soil, chalky and mineral, which allows full ripening and
excellent drainage. The 35 year old vines are trained Piemonte style on low Guyot trellis, planted with
4,000 – 4,500 vines per hectare and yielding 6600 lt/ha. The whole process of winemaking is
undertaken at Araldica’s winery, Azienda Agricola La Battistina, in stainless steel tanks. The hand
harvested grapes are pressed in a pneumatic press and subjected to a temperature controlled
fermentation in stainless steel. The wine remains in contact with the lees for 4 months before being
fined, filtered and bottled
