ARIES

PECORINO IGT COLLINE PESCARESI

The grapes for the Ciavolich Aries Pecorino come from a 1ha plot of pergola vines planted in 2000 on our estate in Pianella and from 1ha of cordon-double guyot vines in Loreto Aprutino planted in 2011. The grapes are hand-harvest as the first light of sunrise breaks the horizon and carried directly to the winery in small baskets. The freshly selected grapes are pressed softly and the must ferments under controlled temperature in stainless steel vats. When fermentation ends a selected lot is transferred to used French oak tonneaux for a short élevage of three months. The final cuvee is then assembled and bottled, resting further for 2 more months before release..
