Roccosecco Montepulciano D’Abruzzo DOC 2016 Biologico - Chiusa Grande

Montepulciano 100%

Harvesting takes place in the second and third week of October when the grapes reach full biological ripeness, evaluated by measuring the sugar content, pH, total acidity and polyphenolic potential. The grapes are harvested manually to respect their integrity and the organoleptic characteristics that will be expressed in the future wine

The vinification takes place respecting the tradition which, after the selection of the best grapes, involves the de-stemming and contact of the skins with the must for about 25-30 days at a controlled temperature of 28-30 ° C. During this period of contact of the must with the skins, periodic pumping over and delestage are carried out which allow the fractional extraction of the noble components of the skins that will characterize the taste of the future wine. At the end of this extraction phase, the wine obtained is separated from the skins with soft pressing and stored in steel tanks for the subsequent malolactic fermentation. Subsequently the wine is decanted into oak barrels where it rests and refines for 12 months until bottling. It is released for consumption after 3 months of bottle aging. In all stages of winemaking, the rules laid down by the regulations for the production of organic wines are respected in order to guarantee and protect the genuineness and wholesomeness of the product.
