The vineyards are located on rolling hills and benefit from a moderate microclimate with cooling air currents. The soil consists, among other things, of clay and sand, which contributes to the combination of structure and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are harvested by hand, destemmed, and gently crushed. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in small wooden barrels, at approximately 28–30 °C. During fermentation, the cap is regularly plunged and pumped over. After fermentation, there is another approximately 5 to 8 days of skin contact. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation, followed by a remarkably long aging period. The Costa Grande first matures for about a year in 5-hectoliter tonneaux, after which it is transferred to larger oak barrels of about 25 hectoliters. It remains there for another year. Subsequently, the wine rests for a few months in concrete tanks and then approximately 6 to 12 months of bottle aging before it is released to the market. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is quite remarkable for a Vino Nobile that is not a Riserva and explains why this wine can develop considerable complexity.
