The Inzolia vines were planted with intervals of 2.40 meters between the rows and 1.25 meters between the vines (for a total of 3,330 plants per hectare). An espalier support system and a Guyot cultivation system are used, and pruning is long. Inzolia is a variety with a long ripening period, and in Regaleali, it is harvested between the second and third week of September, according to the seasonal weather conditions. Expert vintners carry out the harvest by hand, eliminating any damaged bunches that are not perfectly ripe. The “Tramontanata” vineyard stretches across the hillsides around the Canalotti Valley. The name refers to the north-westerly wind exposed to the vines (known as the “tramontana” in Italian). Sauvignon vines were planted here in 1998, covering an area of 6.7 hectares between 513 and 551 m above sea level. The terrain is formed of marine deposits of sandy clay, which are naturally saline and particularly rich in sodium. The soil cracks in the summer and is slightly calcareous, with a pH that hovers around neutral (between 6.9 and 7.1). It is also deep, with the vines able to put down abundant root systems to a depth of 80 cm. Organic matter content is high, as are levels of mineral salts. The vines are spaced at 2.40 m between rows and 1 m between individual plants (4,160 plants per hectare) and are highly trained using an espalier-based Guyot system.
