On the palate, it is full-bodied, fine and harmonious, with mature fruit, well-integrated structure and a long, persistent finish. The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo a double manual selection. Temperature-controlled vinification begins with spontaneous fermentation, followed by 25 days of maceration and separation from the seeds, with malolactic fermentation taking place in stainless steel. The wine then matures for 24 months in French barriques on the fine lees, followed by further ageing in stainless steel and 12 months in bottle. Spirito della Vite reflects the winery’s oenological passion and philosophy – a wine conceived as a narrative of identity and a bond between people, vine and nature.
