Winemaking
Ilmerlot is the result of a careful selection of grapes and skilful vinification conducted in full compliance with the Ca' del Bosco Method. The grapes coming from 3 "chosen" vineyards, freshly harvested by hand in small boxes, are classified and cooled. Each bunch is selected by expert eyes and hands, to then benefit from exclusive "berry spas", a particular bunch washing and hydromassage system, via three soaking tanks and a drying system. Next, each bunch is transported over the maceration vat. With destemming, the grapes fall into the vat, from above, by gravity. This eliminates traditional pumping systems, which cause breakage of the skins and unwanted herbaceous notes. The alcoholic fermentation and maceration were carried out for 21 days, carefully managing the temperature and punching down. The pumpovers were carried out daily, using a pair of elevator tanks into which the wine, drawn from the bottom of the vat, is transferred by gravity. The wine, brought to altitude by the flying tanks, is poured into the vat, at a high flow rate, to submerge the "hat". Nothing more natural and effective for delicately extracting color and tannins. After racking, the wine, still warm, is decanted into small oak barrels, 65% new, obtained from selected woods, seasoned for at least 3 years. The refinement lasted a total of 18 months, at the end of which the wine was bottled by gravity, so
natural. Thanks to innovative filling systems, the wine does not undergo oxidative shock, shaking and further additions of sulphites. Its integrity and healthiness are guaranteed. Finally, each packaged bottle is uniquely marked to ensure traceability.
