Ratings & Reviews

Vineyard

5.000 plant per hectare, cultivated with single guyot, not irrigated. All Bolmida's vineyards follow a “certified sustainable planning“, where green manure fertilizer based on alfalfa, beans and mustards (a carpet of these crops aid to avoid water erosion inside these slope hills and aid to producing a symbiosis with vine having so more quantity of parfums inside smaller size of clusters). Bad funguses are controlled primarily using different algae and mustard extracts. Yields are kept very low, around 1,2 kg, to keep a greater balance between sugar/acidity/total polyphenol/ripe tannin. Harvest, during second half of October, done by hand.

Vinification

Clusters are gently destemmed to leave a lot of whole berries into the fermentation tank; fermentation started with an inoculation of selected-autochthon fresh yeast. Inside steel tank, fermentation with pump overs, lasts for one week, followed by a very long maceration post fermentation, on the submerged skins, 60-70 days in total, and malolactic fermentation made in quickly natural way in the same moment.

Aging

Aged in used, untoasted barrique with weekly batonnage till may, then racked, and returned to the same barrel for 24 months in total.
During the third year of maturation the wine is then moved inside steel tank for 4-6 months for decantation and sedimentation and then the wine is bottled without filtering.
