Vang IK52: ASTORIA TIEMO

•PRODUCTION AREA Grown on the hills of the “Astoria” Estate, at approx. 150 m. above sea level. Vineyards: with an east-to-west and north-to-south orientation, with 3,000/4,000 grapevines per hectare (average age: 8-18 years). Average production: 3/4 kg per grapevine (120/130 q. per hectare). Grape variety: Glera. Growing technique: Sylvoz. • TECHNOLOGY The grapes are harvested by hand in September, when they have the best chemical/organoleptic properties, and are lightly crushed. The must then undergoes static decantation. Primary fermentation takes place inside steel vats at 18°C with the help of selected autochthonous yeasts. The thus obtained wine remains in contact with the grape skins for a month, then it is cleared and run into pressure tanks, where it becomes sparkling. Secondary fermentation occurs at 16/18°C with the help of selected yeasts and lasts approx. 25/30 days;
