The 'ponca' has low fertility and a good capacity to retain water, giving the grapes and wine unique characteristics such as body and colour, tannins and minerality. The arrangement of the vineyards in terraces, the Ronchi (hilltops) and the perfect exposure allow the grapes to ripen fully. Ventilation is good thanks to the Bora wind and winds from the Adriatic Sea; the significant temperature range between day and night makes the grapes more aromatic and sugary.Vinification: The grapes are harvested in the first week of September. The must is then fermented directly in autoclaves according to the Martinotti method, at a controlled temperature of 12° C to enhance the aromatic component of the grapes and preserve the varietal olfactory and taste characteristics. It matures on the lees for 8 months with frequent batonnage to acquire structure and balance.Tasting: A Brut sparkling wine with an intense yellow colour and a very fine and persistent perlage.
