The Winemaking

The planting density is about 3500 vines per hectare, with a yield of 60 quintals per hectare, and the training system is Guyot. Harvesting is done manually, with selection and collection of the grapes in crates. During vinification, the grapes undergo skin maceration with alternating pump-overs and délestages, followed by aging in tonneaux barrels. The alcohol content varies between 13% and 14% depending on the vintage. The production respects the environment and the territory, ensuring a high-quality wine.

THE WINERY
na Petrussa is a winery that embodies a fascinating story of passion, determination, and tradition.
