When the Estate was acquired by the Pantaleoni family, it had been planted with a large number of, mostly, French varieties. Over the years, separate vinification was conducted in order to verify which vines adapted better to the microclimate of the zone and from 1996 a rationalization of the vineyards - by age, but most particularly by variety - was begun. Today, Barbera and Bonarda occupy the greater part of the cultivated area, followed by the aromatic Malvasia di Candia, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The grapes all come from older vineyards with low vine density, making them more costly to maintain but which provide better quality and consistency than that which can be achieved with younger vineyards. Most of the vineyards are trellised using the Guyot system, with 6000 plants per hectare. All work in the vineyards is done by hand, from the pruning to the fastening, trimming and thinning until harvest, in order to guarantee greater quality control. This control is necessary in order to produce perfect grapes which in turn produce a quality wine that reflects the characteristics of this microzone.
