Age of vines : 15-50 years.
Training system : Classic single-sided Guyot 4-5 productive shoots per vine.
Production: 30-35 quintals / ha.
Harvest : Manual in boxes with subsequent control on a vibrating sorting bench.
Vinification : The destemmed and pressed grapes are placed in thermo-conditioned concrete tanks for fermentation at a temperature of 25-27°C, which is accompanied by a precise timing of operations (pumping over and delestage) aimed at delicate extraction of the substances contained in the peels.
Aging : After fermentation and maceration, the wine is tapped and placed in oak barriques where it will undergo malolactic fermentation; with periodic decanting, only on a waning moon, the Gian will remain in barriques for 24 months before being bottled. The marketing takes place after at least 12 months of refinement in the bottle and only after the final tasting by the property.
