Vinification of the Colle al Fico Syrah by Petra

The grapes for the Colle al Fico Syrah grow on low-yield vineyards located in a suitable microclimate with cool nights and plenty of sunshine. The cultivation follows sustainable principles to promote the natural balance of the vine and biodiversity. The lower-lying vines benefit from mineral-rich soils, which give the wine its characteristic depth and complexity.

The harvest of the ripe grapes is carried out carefully by hand to preserve quality. After harvest, the grapes are immediately destemmed and gently pressed, helping the fruit retain its aromatic qualities. The subsequent fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and lasts about 10 to 14 days. During this phase, the wine preserves its aromatic potential through controlled maceration fermentation.

The maturation occurs through a blend of stainless steel and oak barrels, with aging on the fine lees for about 12 months. This method ensures a harmonious balance between fruit, spice, and a soft texture. The result is a Syrah with intense fruit aroma, complemented by elegant spiciness and velvety tannins, which perfectly round out the wine for a complete drinking experience.
