Cellar

Completely renovated in 1997, our cellar is modern and functional. It consists of:

1) a department for vinification and storage
- Rooms position = 1st floor and basement
- Capacity = 22100 hl in total
- Stainless steel rate = 75%
- Wood rate = 25%

2) an "elevation cellar" with Slavonia wood barrels and roughly 2200 barriques Malolactic fermentation of Sagrantino is done in new barriques. The woods selected for these barriques provide a 90% French composition, coming from the forests of Allier, Nievre and Vosges.
The passage in wood allows the wine to take advantage of all those substances which, together with the constant micro aeration typical of the storage place, determine the enrichment of its bouquet and the achievement of an ideal  aromatic and organoleptic complexity.

- Rooms position = basement
- Barriques = 2200
- Slavonia oak barrels = 15
- Capacity = 1100hl in the oak barrels and 4500 in the barriques
- Constant temperature = 15-16°C
- Humidity = 80-85%

3) Refinement in bottles concludes the wine's maturation. It completes its evolution becoming more refined from the olfactory and tasting point of view. We leave the bottles for 6 to 8 months in a room designed on purpose for this last, decisive step.
All our bottles are checked by our specialized staff and our quality is guaranteed by the ISO 9002 mode certification.

- Rooms position = basement
- Finishing capacity = some 105.000 bottles
- Temperature = 15-16°C
- Humidity = 80-85%
