The grapes were destemmed and gently crushed, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats at 22 to 24°C. Maceration lasted 10 days with daily racking and regular pumping over. The wine spent two years of ageing in large barrels,
tonneaux, barriques and amphorae, followed by one year in bottle.
A full, rich and velvety wine with beautifully integrated tannins and complex aromas of cherry violet and wild berries layered with herbal notes and delicate spice. Great minerality offers a distinctive and fresh finish.

Winery | The best bunches are selected from a single parcel in the Peratara vineyard, which sits at 550- 570 metres in this acclaimed area of Valpantena production. ‘Pietraia’ in the Veneto dialect derives from the calcareous-marl soils rich in Cretaceous-era skeletal content. Extreme diurnal temperature variations 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. A holistic approach to vineyard management is adopted, prioritising organic practices and manual cultivation. Forests surround the vineyards and meadows, creating a rich biodiversity crucial for regenerative agricultural methods, which focus 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 itsresources. |
