WINE GROWING AREA
The sun-drenched plains of Bassa Atesina and the hilltops surrounding Montagna is where we find the grapes ripening especially for our Cabernet GRATUS. The sandy clay soils provide the best conditions for the over-35-year-old vines to grow. They are cultivated using the guyot system and are at 220 - 380 metres above sea level.
HARVEST AND YIELD
The sun-ripened grapes are harvested by hand from mid October. The yield is 50 hectolitres of wine per hectare.
VINIFICATION
The handpicked grapes are gently crushed and fermented in a fermentation tank at a controlled temperature of 28°C. During the fermentation process, the must and grape skins remain in constant contact with each other in order to achieve a better fruit, colour and tannin quality. After fermentation, this Cabernet is aged in small French oak barrels and then in the bottle. R
ECCOMENDATION
This Cabernet GRATUS goes superbly well with game and exquisite, dark meat dishes.
