RUBIOSA Colour Bouquet Taste |
| Vines 100% Croatina. Rubiosa is produced from the grapes of historic vines (up to 50 years old) and from recently installed plantations. Terrain 11 hectares of clayey land, facing mainly South-West, located in Mairano di Casteggio at an altitude between 150 and 200 metres above sea-leve. Cultivation Cultivation is implemented with no trace whatever of antibotritics or synthetic products and soil treatment is restricted to the indispensable. When installing the new plantations, during the planting of the seedlings, 'attinomiceti', natural funguses were used to protect the young roots from disease. The Guyot cultivation method is used to guarantee maximum qualitative uniformity. The yield per hectare amounts to 900 kilos of grapes, from an average 5000 stems. Harvest Harvesting is carried out entirely by hand, together with meticulous sorting of the bunches. During the picking phase, dry ice is used to protect the grapes from oxidisation and to avoid temperature upswings. |
vinification Fermentation together with maceration lasts for 4 days at 32°C; the wine is then kept at a constant 15°C, up to the start of the actual re-fermentation phase which takes place in autoclaves (air-watertight storage tanks). refining After about 20 days 'effervescing' the wine rests in draft autoclaves for 1 month before bottling. bottling Maximum, anti-oxygen protection is ensured during the bottling phase. After a final, rigorous, quality control, and at least 12 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. |
