Vinification of the Villa Gresti di San Leonardo Rosso from San Leonardo

The vinification of the Villa Gresti di San Leonardo Rosso is carried out with utmost care and under the best conditions. The grapes come from meticulously selected vineyards that are located in an optimal microclimate. The cultivation is done according to strict guidelines, combining traditional methods with modern techniques.

1. Grape Cultivation: The grapes grow in a gravelly soil, which guarantees excellent drainage. This allows the roots to penetrate deep into the soil, adding additional minerality to the grapes.

2. Harvest: The harvest is done manually at the optimal time for ripeness. Only the best grapes are selected to ensure the high quality of the wine.

3. Vinification: The grapes are carefully destemmed and pressed. The aging takes place in oak-aged tanks, where controlled fermentation occurs. This method allows for deeper flavoring and complexity.

4. Aging: After fermentation, the wine matures in French oak barrels. This imparts subtle aromas of vanilla and toasty notes, giving the wine additional character. The time in the barrel allows for the tannins to integrate harmoniously.
