Clay-limestone
Vinification :
Located at an altitude of 350m on a hill with clayey and stony soils, the estate cultivates its vines with care, mostly facing south. The “Crucella” (Merlot, Freisa, Sangiovese) and “Fontana” (Falanghina) vintages come from young vines planted 6 years ago, while “Pietre” and “Cerreto” (Falanghina, Malvasia di Candia) come from 30-year-old vines, facing south. Vinification is short and tense: 5 to 6 days in wooden and stainless steel vats, followed by 4 days of aging. In 2019, production amounted to approximately 14,000 bottles.

Crucella Red 2019
La Vinicola di Antonio Gismondi
The estate's only red, Crucella is a beautiful blend of Merlot, Sangiovese, and the ancient local Freisa grape variety, which imparts a slight hint of musky red fruit, but the Sangiovese dominates. The harvest macerates for five or six days in stainless steel vats, then the wine is aged for seven to ten months in the same type of vat. Crucella is characterized by a nose of undergrowth, mineral and earthy, a lively and acidic attack on the palate, red fruit, cherry on the retro-olfaction, and tannins that are less present than the deep color would suggest. Definitely a good wine for laying down that will blossom over time.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.
