Details
type of soil
Land which is perfectly positioned and exposed, black with lava sands and thus extraordinarily rich in minerals with abundant structure of large dimensions, and surrounded by woods and more recent lava flows.
ALTITUDE
Feudo di Mezzo 610 metres above sea level.
TRAINING SYSTEM
Espalier with spurred cordon pruning system.
METHOD OF CULTIVATION
According to the criteria of organic agriculture and SOStain® protocols; ground cover of wild plants to augment the organic matter, enhancing the strength of the soil’s microfauna; plant health protected by small quantities of sulphur and copper; phytophages attacked with useful insects, sexual confusion and applications of natural restoratives such as zeolite, kaolin and vegetable extracts.
Tasting notes
Vanilla, sour cherry, wild strawberry, a very clean flowery touch. Fleshy and smooth in the mouth. Very expressive fruit with more complex aromatic intrusions of undergrowth, myrtle and oriental spices. A wine which unexpectedly transforms itself into a champion of red drinks, with marked flavour and a tasting profile with emerging and exciting traces of iron, rhubarb and black pepper.
