Details
TYPE OF SOIL
The principal characteristic of the soils of the Vittoria area is the sandy texture; the soils consist mainly of loose red sands with a structure of small dimension, moderately deep; a layer of tufa lies at about 90 cm, very important for the water capacity of the soil and thus for the water balance of the plants.
ALTITUDE
70 metres above sea level.
TRAINING SYSTEM
Espalier with spurred cordon pruning system.
METHOD OF CULTIVATION
According to the criteria of organic agriculture and the SOStain® protocols; ground cover of beans, vetch and wild plants to increase the organic structure and the nitrogen content and favour the vitality of the soil’s microfauna; plant health is preserved with minimal quantities of sulphur and copper; phytophages are controlled with useful insects, sexual confusion and application of natural restoratives such as kaolin and vegetable extracts.
Tasting Notes
Ruby red with violet reflections. The notes of rose and candied violets are typical with an elegantly smokey tone. In the mouth much red fruit with balsamic tones.
