CantinArte grows grapes without the use of herbicide, insecticide, systemic fungicides or fertilizers. The vineyards are in the surroundings of Bucchianico (300 meters above sea level) and Navelli ( 700 meters above sea level).
This last Vineyard is located at the foot of Gran Sasso in a very windy place with a high temperature range. Here the soil is rich in skeleton, clay-calcareous and rocky. Row is the wine training with a vineyard density of 5200 grapevines per hectare. This wine is the result of a perfect synergy between two areas: the terroir of Bucchianico gives structure and longevity; that of Navelli brings elegance, freshness and minerality.
Aging First 10 days of September (this grape variety is able to reach a good sugar level without loosing its great acidity; changing the harvesting time we are able to enhance the freshness and the structure of the wine) White vinification with cryomaceration for 18/24 hours, precrushing and soft pressing of the grape. Fermentation occurs with yeasts in steel tanks at a low temperature (10 - 13 °C). This wine can also be appreciated after 3 - 5 years.
