“Today the wine production facility is situated at the heart of Morrona within the locality of Terricciola, which has already won recognition as a Città del Vino (City of Wine), in large part through the efforts of Conte Duccio Gaslini Alberti. After the must is fermented in temperature controlled stainless-steel tanks, the wine is conveyed into a large circular hall, one of the cellar’s more remarkable features.
Here, the international varieties mature in oak barrels, while Sangiovese will rest in large oak casks; these large ovals enable the complexity and elegance of the Sangiovese to emerge, while the smaller barrels serve to balance the forcefulness and harmony of the Bordeaux blends. Many historic concrete vats, carefully restored, have been retained, since their micro-oxygenation encourages crisp freshness and elegance in the wine.”
