VILLA RAJNA Colour Bouquet Taste |
| Vines 60% Uva Rara, 20% Croatina, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, Villa Rajna is produced from plants aged an average 20 years. Terrain 3 hectares of sandy-clayey land, facing West, located at Mairano di Casteggio, at an altitude of 150 – 200 metres above sea-level. Cultivation Cultivation is implemented with no trace whatever of antibotritics or synthetic products and soil treatment is restricted to the indispensable. The Guyot cultivation method is used to guarantee maximum qualitative uniformity. The yield per hectare amounts to 800 kilos of grapes, from an average 4,500 stems. Harvest Harvesting is carried out entirely by hand, if necessary 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 The grapes are processed separately. Fermentation together with maceration of the tough skins lasts an average 10 days at a maximum 30°C. Refining In the Spring following the grape harvest, the three varieties are mixed and aged for 12 months in French bay-oak barriques. 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. |
