The hand-picked and selected bunches were dried in drying lofts for 100 days, losing 40% of weight. The grapes were destemmed and gently crushed, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats at 15-20°C. Fermentation lasted for 25 days with regular, daily pumping. The wine spent 24 months in French oak barriques and tonneaux, with six months in bottle.

| Winery | The estate vineyards are the highest in the entire Valpantena; at this elevation, the vines are cooled by air currents in summer. Extreme diurnal temperature fluctuations take place, and as a result, the grape ripening is delayed by up to a month compared to the valley floor. This long, slow ripening process encourages the development of complex aromas. The Valpantena is a valley of pre-Alpine alluvial origin featuring calcareous-clayey soils which impart distinctive minerality. A holistic approach to vineyard management is adopted, prioritising organic practices and manual cultivation. The vineyards are surrounded by forests and meadows, creating a rich biodiversity crucial for regenerative agricultural methods focusing on restoring soil health and promoting a balanced ecosystem. By encouraging natural processes, La Collina dei Ciliegi supports sustainable and environmentally friendly wine production that respects the land and its resources. |
