The gradual process of renewal of the vineyards has led to a more rational and quality viticulture thanks to the high density of planting and the “spurred cordon” training system, which allow the control of the load of buds and, consequently, of the productivity some plants.įor the production of superior quality wines, the bunches are thinned out at the beginning of veraison, so that the average production is around 1 kg of grapes per vine.Ĭurrently among the cultivated vines there is the autochthonous Grechetto of which the planting of the G5 clone has been preferred, slightly less productive, but with more character and typicality.Ĭhardonnay, whose grapes are used for the Villa Fidelia Bianco, it was planted in land about 500 meters above sea level, on the slopes of Mount Subasio.

Alcoholic fermentation is in barriques of French oak with a capacity of 228 litres, where subsequently malolactic fermentation occurs. The rapid drop in temperature and cold mechanical processing of the skins ensures the best possible extraction of aromas, and by creating an oxygen free environment, the grapes are protected from oxidizing. As soon as they are picked, they are transported to the winery and destemmed.Īt this stage they are chilled to a temperature of 8-10°, will the help of dry ice, and put in the press to macerate for a few hours. ![]() The grapes are vinified separately to encourage the best development of aromas of the two varieties.
