Belguardo V

The vines stand at around 90 metres, facing south to south-west, on medium-weight soils dominated by sandstone and with abundant skeletal material. The grapes are harvested by hand. In the most recent technical description available, 50% ferment and mature for five months, predominantly in amphorae on the skins; a further 40% mature in stainless steel on the fine lees with weekly bâtonnage, and 10% for nine months in barriques. The style is sun-kissed, highly saline and mineral, with muscular structure and good longevity. The younger version comes from 21.500 bottles. Source: Mazzei, product data sheet.
