Characteristics of the wine Bertonaia
Production area
The grapes come from our vineyards located in the territory of San Ginesio, between 300 and 400 meters above sea level, oriented to South-East, on the hills surrounding the Fiastrella valley. The soil is medium textured, clayey, deep and fertile.
Grapes
Local red grapes.
Vinification and aging
The harvest is manual and respects the order of maturity: first Merlot and then Cabernet Sauvignon. The different varieties of grapes are vinified separately; the long duration of fermentation on the skins allows to extract the whole essence of the grape. After fermentation the wines are blended for the first stage of maturation in small oak barrels. After a long stay in barrels, when the wine has reached its proper maturation, is bottled. It follows a further period of aging in bottle and finally is ready for sale.
