Where does it come from
This wine originates in Tuscany, in a region closely linked to Bolgheri, from vines cultivated using the Guyot method. The sandy soils give the glass a clear minerality, enhancing its overall freshness. The east-west exposure of the vineyards ensures optimal ripening of the grapes and a precise aromatic definition. Podere Sette manages its vineyards with rigour, maintaining a low yield to guarantee the high quality of the fruit.
How is it produced
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with the aid of daily pump-overs, essential for a gentle extraction of the noble components of the grape. After malolactic fermentation, maturation continues for about 6-8 months: part of the batch rests in steel, while the remainder matures in second and third passage French oak barrels. This is followed by a light filtration and the creation of the final blend, essential steps to ensure a consistently clean and coherent flavour profile.
