BOHEMI Colour Bouquet Taste Consumption |
| Vines 55% Barbera – 25% Croatina – 20% Pinot Nero. Bohemi is produced exclusively from historic vines, up to 50 years old. Terrain 2 hectares of sandy-clayey soil, mainly facing South/South-West, located in Mairano di Casteggio, between 150 and 200 metres above sea-level. Cultivation The land is cultivated with no trace whatever of antibotritics or synthetic products and treatment of the soil is restricted to the indispensable. The Guyot method of cultivation is used to guarantee maximum, qualitative uniformity. Each year meticulous elimination of the less uniform bunches is carried out before the effective ripening of the grapes (July). The yield per hectare amounts to 500 kilos of grapes, picked from an average 4,000 stems. Harvest Harvesting is carried out entirely by hand, together with meticulous sorting of the bunches. During the picking, dry ice is used to protect the grapes from oxidation and to avoid temperature upswings. |
Vinification The grapes are gathered at different times and processed separately. Fermentation, with maceration of the tough skins, lasts an average 7 to 15 days, according to the variety of vine, at a maximum temperature of 28°C. Refining In November the three varieties are placed separately in small, new French bay-oak barrels. During this phase too, different woods and different time-scales - from 12 to 24 months - are used, each adapted to the original vine. Then, after mixing, Bohemi rests in steel vats for a further few months to facilitate the balancing of the organoleptic components. Bottling Maximum, anti-oxygen protection is ensured during the bottling phase. After a final, rigorous, quality control, and at least 6 months after bottling, the wine is placed on sale. Storage Storage takes place in a specifically appointed warehouse, air-conditioned at a constant 15°C. |
