The grapes from which the Iselis Rosso is made come from the homonymous estate, located in the countryside of Serdiana, characterized by calcareous soils of sedimentary origin: an optimal terroir to obtain wines with a good mineral concentration and, therefore, finesse and potential for evolution in years. After harvesting, carried out manually in the early hours of the morning, the grapes are pressed and sent to maceration-fermentation at a temperature of about 30 ° C for about ten days. In order to obtain a soft product of a certain nobility, the wine is then sent to malolactic fermentation – the one with which part of the stronger malic acid is transformed into lactic acid, so to speak sweeter and softer – in vitrified cocnreteo wine vessels and maturation in French oak barriques for twelve months.
