Both red grape varieties are harvested when fully ripe (the Syrah may even be slightly shrivelled) .Grape variety abbreviation:
SY, PVVinification:
The two varieties are vinified differently. The Syrah ferments for 18-20 days with natural yeasts and a submerged cap, which is broken up at the beginning of fermentation. For the fermentation of Petit Verdot, yeasts are used that enable the highest possible yield of tannins and poliphenols through the regular submersion of the cap. After careful racking of the young wines, which are not pumped but moved by gravity alone, the wines are placed separately in barriques.vineyard:
Selected vineyards of the Casale del Giglio winery in the village of Le Ferriere in the Agro Pontino in the province of Latina.Ageing:
After 22-24 months in barriques (70% new) the wines are blended and left to mature in the bottle for a further 10-12 months.Rebsorte(n):
85% Syrah, 15% Petit Verdot
