1982 Antichi Vigneti di Cantalupo Collis Breclemae, Ghemme DOCG, Italy

Hills formed in the interglacial stage by the Monte Rosa moraine (the second highest in Europe). The soil is very rich in minerals thanks to the considerable crumbling of the rocks due to the age of the morain. Grapes were destemmed adn delicately pressed keeping the rolls of the destemmer sufficently distant from each other in order to avoid the ill-treating of the grapes as much as possible. After the fermentation at 28-30 degrees Celsius, two pressings a day were carreid out in ordeer to favor the extraction of the anthocyans and the polymerised tannins from the skins, which give that characteristic velvety, sweet and at the same time austere taste to this wine.
