Soils: Morraine soil. Sandy, gravelly and calcareous

Winemaking

Sorting the grape lots in the vineyard results in Amistar Lot No. II, which then matures as iL Secondo in wooden barrels and is presented as Amistar iL Secondo Bianco II.

The batches are pressed separately, degummed and than they got a ‘stabilisation’ (3-4 days must cooled to 5°C). The different musts in this cuvée are fermented separately in two- and three-year-old barriques at a controlled temperature. The malolactic fermentation is desired and therefore the batches remain in wooden barrels and are then combined after 6 months as per the sorting in the vineyard. They then make the so-called marriage journey together for a further 6 months, totalling 12 months in twoand three-year-old barriques on the fine lees. Shelf life: 8 - 10 years
