Production
The grapes are manually harvested and go through a gentle destemming process and are placed inside specialized stainless steel tanks. In the tanks, the must goes through rotary agitation during the first 7-9 days of the fermentation process in order to obtain maximum extraction and separation of seeds to reduce harsher tannins. The must gets fermented by yeast that naturally collects on the grape skin, with controlled temperatures and oxygen levels.
The wine ages for 12 months in tonneau where the malolactic fermentation takes place with an additional 6 months in cement tanks and refinement in bottle for 6 months before releasing.
History
A family-owned-and-operated agricultural company and farmhouse located in the heart of the Tuscan countryside in the hills between Pisa and Volterra. The company covers an area of approximately 74 acres on which it pursues the dream of producing Tuscan wine made from native grapes. All soils are treated with organic non-chemical fertilizers. The vineyards are rooted in soil that is rich in clays and seashells, a condition that is favorable for producing wine without much human intervention, which inevitably would change its nature. Fattoria Fibbiano contains a vineyard that is over one hundred years old (one of the oldest vineyards in the region) from which have been selected the mother plants of all existing vineyards within the company.
