Grape Clone Ancient massal selections

Indigenous Yeast Yes
Oak Types French oak, large neutral botti
Extended Maceration Yes
Production Details The 0.48-ha vineyard was planted in the 1960s–1970s from ancient massal selections. The producer describes manual picking, two manual selections, about 10 days' fermentation in wooden vats, approximately 60–70 days of submerged-cap maceration and approximately five years in neutral oak vats and cement. The 2019 importer/distributor sheet instead gives average vine age as 25–50 years, submerged-cap maceration of 60–75 days and five years in large neutral French botti. These differing maceration ranges and maturation-vessel descriptions remain source-specific. The exact-vintage vendor adds 300 m elevation, southern exposure, manual harvest and a 16–18°C serving range. Review qualifiers not suitable for exact numeric storage are Vinous 95+ on the distributor sheet and Parker/Wine Advocate 97+ on the vendor page.

It describes five years in large botti, which is narrower than the producer's oak-and-cement maturation description; both source-specific vessel descriptions are retained.
