RISPESCIA VINEYARD – Grosseto

Rispescia Vineyard extrends around 5 hectars along the Aurelia Road south of Grosseto and located at an average altitude of 80 meter above sea-level. The climate, influenced by the proximity of the sea and by the sorrounding hills that form a protective barrier from the winds, determined  the healty ripening of the grapes. The vines trained by “Cord-tying” produce about 55-60 Q.li of grapes per Ha. The type of grapes allocated are: 85% Sangiovese, 10% Ansonica and the remaining 5% Merlot. The harvest of Morellino begins within the first 10 days of September. The  alcoholic fermentation  lasts around 12-14 days followed by the malolactic fermentation that terminates by the end of October.
The wine treatment takes place at the place of origin as Regulation does not permit the transportation of grapes to Poggio Salvi, therefore, all the Wine processes approved by the Protection Consortium, take place at a neighboring farm.  With the acknowledgement of DOC the wine is then transported in wine containers to the Poggio Salvi cellar in Sovicille, where the wine refinement is completed.  The bottling and packaging also takes place at Poggio Salvi.
