La Differenza Sassaia<\/h1>\n

Sassaia vints tradition<\/span> and pours progress<\/span><\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Award winning wines<\/h4>\n

Nel 2021 il Sassaia DERTHONA Platinum si \u00e8 aggiudicato il prestigioso Premio Falstaff come secondo miglior vino bianco del Piemonte. Lo stile di vinificazione \u00e8 una svolta innovativa alla tradizione che combina le migliori pratiche della Borgogna, il terroir italiano e la collaborazione tra Enrico de Alessandrini, Pierre Naigeon e Walter Massa. La nostra cantina a Capriata d’Orba \u00e8 stata ridisegnata e modernizzata per adottare lo stile borgognone di Pierre Naigeon ed arricchito con le conoscenze acquisite dal programma di enologia UC Davis.<\/p>\n

Hand Harvest<\/h4>\n

Our first selection begins early morning, surrounded by cool temperatures, where trained harvesters choose only the best fruit for vinification.<\/p>\n

Grapes arrive in small 6kg crates<\/h4>\n

We purposely choose small crates to avoid crushing berries which permits us to chill the fruit for extended skin contact in a temperature controlled environment for 24-48 hours prior to a second hand sorting. Historically, these crates are typically used for air dried wine styles. <\/p>\n

Hand Sorting<\/h4>\n

Dopo un controllo completo, solo le uve migliori superano la selezione finale. Non utilizziamo alcun sistema di coclee per spingere l’uva nella pressa. L’uva viene introdotta manualmente per evitare la rottura dei raspi e la frantumazione dei semi.<\/p>\n

Barrel fermentation<\/h4>\n

After soft pressing and cold decanting, the barrel fermentations begin in limited production Burgundian Chassin barrels sourced from the Jupilles forest. <\/p>\n

Rack\/bottle on the moon cycle<\/h4>\n

We move the wine during the moon cycle to avoid disturbing the lees resulting in clear wine without fining.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Minimalist Intervention <\/h4>\n

Pratichiamo un intervento minimalista, cronometrato e dosato con la tecnologia. L’uso della fotografia satellitare ci aiuta a seguire il vigore del vigneto e il timing dello stacco durante la vendemmia. Il densimetro digitale consente un monitoraggio accurato e tempestivo delle nostre fermentazioni. La tecnologia del microscopio digitale, combinata con l’intelligenza artificiale, ci consente di monitorare la vitalit\u00e0 dei lieviti e della fermentazione, il che ci aiuta a programmare eventuali alimentazioni necessarie con nutrienti minimi. Le barricaie a temperatura controllata alimentate a energia solare ci consentono di mantenere l’umidit\u00e0 e la temperatura adeguate per fermentazioni e l\u2019affinamento a temperatura controllata.<\/p>\n

Massima attenzione all’igiene<\/h4>\n

We create a clean and healthy environment for both fermentation and aging of wines by combining best practices with the latest technology. We clean with filtered water, free of chlorine and bromine, to reduce cork taint risk. We employ ozinated water to sanitize our barrels which removes any traces of volatile acidity and brett. We also use vectoclean (negative oxygen) to remove mold, bacteria and yeast in our winemaking\nfacility.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
