A great red wine, very typical and very long-lived
Tramonti Rosso A' Scippata
Our family is very tied to this ground, that is called a’ Scippata since 1933 – when it was implanted. In this vine yard the pruning, the tying of the shoots, the change of guardians, and the harvest follow the same rhythm of our ancestors. The first selection for this wine is made in the vineyard. Only the best grapes are harvested, about 40 quintals per hectare. Following a sweet pressing and a long fermentation in contact with the peels. Essential measures to obtain a great red, very typical and very long-lived.

Wine-making
The stalks are removed from the accurately selected grapes in the vineyard, and these grapes are sent into the tanks for the fermentation where, once the selected yeasts are injected, the long maceration together with the skins takes place. The daily stirring of this mass give colour and structure to this wine. After separating the must from the skins, it keeps fermenting for 15 - 20 days, always at a controlled temperature.
Refining process
Storage for 3 - 4 months in stainless steel tanks on the fine lees in order to favour the spontaneous malolactic fermentation. A' Scippata is then stored both in Slavonian durmast wooden large barrels, and in French durmast wooden barriques for at least 12 months. This vintage wine rests at least for other 6 months in bottles before being sold.
