VARIETY: Barbera
VINEYARD: Grapes from our vineyard, located in the municipality of Agliano Terme: it is here, with an optimal exposure, that our historic “Nizza” vines grow. Marly-calcareous, clay soil. The grapes are hand-harvested in the first half of October.
Grapes from Certified Sustainable Agriculture.
VINIFICATION AND AGEING: Alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature and involves at least 3 weeks’ contact with the skins. This is followed by malolactic fermentation, which takes place spontaneously in steel tanks. At the beginning of the year following the harvest, refinement in small oak barrels begins and lasts at least 12 months. After bottling, the wine remains in our cellars in lay-down bottles until it reaches a perfect refining. Dani is produced in a traditional way and bottled without filtration.
