Our wines

We decided to plant a small vineyard (just over one hectare) at “Poggio del Sole” for our only white wine.

In terms of training and cultivation, we grow Viognier the same way we grow Syrah - with extreme care and attention and no room for mistakes. In so doing, we obtain the highest possible quality. Yields per hectare are about 50 quintals per 5000 plants, and harvesting takes place between the end of August and the beginning of September.

Just as with our red Linfa di Syrah, our white version of Linfa di Viognier is produced totally by hand and in limited amounts (from 3000-5000 bottles, depending on the year).

These two wines can be considered our “hand-made” wines: micro productions within a family of wines that are only and always produced in limited numbers; this is why they share the same name of Linfa, an acronym of the names of the members of my immediate family.

After an exceptionally soft crushing and destemming and an equally gentle pressing, the must ferments spontaneously (thanks to indigenous yeasts) partly in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks and partly in French oak barrels.

At the end of fermentation, half of the mass is transferred to cement barrels and the other half into barriques, where it ages for several months on the noble lees, acquiring complexity and volume thanks to frequent batonnages.
