The harvest starts at the end of august, and lasts about one week. Only the best clusters of Sangiovese and Sanforte are selected when they are mature and have reached a good level of acidity.
The vinification of our Matilde wine is a “white vinification”, meaning without any maceration of the skins of the grapes. It is a soft pressing so that there is not an over extraction of tannins or color, with a fermentation at a controlled temperature after adding the natural “Pied de Cuv” that is made prior to the harvest using naturally present yeasts. Both the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation occur in cement and steel containers, where the wine will then refine for around 5 months until it is bottled.

Wine displays juicy aroma of raspberry caramels, fresh strawberry, red currant, refreshing watermelon and grapefruit with a delicate notes of rose hip. High acidity and pleasant minerality make Matilde food-friendly.
