The making

Our RES Rosso da Uvaggio Antico Our RES Rosso da Uvaggio Antico is a blend of purposely selected ancient and traditional grapes of the region -croatina, barbera, uva rara e cabernet - sourced from our very old and minimally treated vineyards.

The vineyards are situated on clay-limestone soils with exposures varying from south to west, at elevations around 300 meters above sea level.

We consciously keep our yields exceptionally low - under 15 quintals per hectare - and refrain from practices aimed at increase yield. Our approach to pest control is to use minimal treatments, adhering to a two-month withdrawal period. No nitrogenous fertilizers are used, as they adversely affect the level of resveratrol.

The grapes are hand-picked in late harvest and a long maceration takes place, exclusively on autochthonous yeasts: completely natural processes that, together with the terroir of the hills of production, contribute to obtain a high concentration of resveratrol.

For crushing we use concrete tanks that offer excellent thermal stability and ideal porosity for a slow, controlled wine maturation.

Refinement lasts at least two years in stainless steel.
