The vineyard planted in 2009, uses a mixed viticultural system in which the spurred cordon and the “Banfi” alberello are alternated. Because of the variability of the terrain this system allows us to choose the most suitable form with the best grapes during that growing season. Fermentation in temperature controlled Horizon hybrid steel and French oak tanks. Aging, in French oak casks for 30 months.
