Hypatia - Noble Lands

The grapes and the vineyard

In the owned agricultural company, which extends for approximately 36 hectares in the municipality of Montalto Uffugo, we have identified and selected a territory which possesses, in terms of exposure, position and composition, the ideal characteristics for the production of a great Nerello.

Winemaking

The techniques in the vineyard, including summer thinning of the bunches, are all aimed at limiting production to between 1000 and 1100 grams of grapes per plant. The bunches are individually selected by expert eyes and hands before starting the vinification which involves, among other things, a 20% bloodletting and a long maceration period.

The wine

Deep, very deep ruby ​​color with a purplish edge, complex, intense, persistent, fine, broad aroma with hints of small red forest fruits and light hints of iris, quince jelly and eucalyptus followed by an enveloping and spicy taste with firm but graceful tannins.
