Our Wines
Santa Brigida
The
Santa Brigida I.G.T. Colli della Toscana Centrale (Supertuscan) is produced in
the vineyards of Fattoria la Ripa named La Volpaia and La Leccia, situated
approx 400m. (above
sea level) and exposed to south, but low–fertile, alkaline and rich in
carbonates.
The
vineyards are nurtured using the “Archetto Toscano”(Guyot) system with an
order of planting of 2.70 x 0.80m., with a maximum production per hectare of
7000 kg. of grapes.
The
vinification process is of the traditional method by means of tumultuous
fermentation at a controlled temperature (25º/30ºC) with numerous “Délestages”
to promote the maximum extraction of colour, followed by the Malo-lactic
fermentation and then maturation in Barriques of French and American oak for
about 1 years. The refinement is carried out by the conclusion of 6 months in
the bottle.
