Soil type: The type of soil is mainly calcareous morainic, rich in skeleton and with the presence of clay. Vinification: The "Cresasso" is a wine that comes from a careful research and selection of the best grapes of Corvina. The manual harvest is done in two distinct moments, a first selection takes place in the second fortnight of September, collecting the grapes in plateaus and left to dry for 2 months followed by fermentation for 20 days and aging in French oak tonneau for 24 months. The remaining part of corvina not harvested during the harvest is over-ripened on the plant until the end of October, at the end of which it is fermented in steel containers. The "Cresasso" is obtained from the blend of the two fermentations, it is a wine with a deep ruby color and an important structure and alcohol content.
