Ardalìa 2020
Chiano Conti is the first wine produced by Tenuta Gatto. The vineyards are located in a hilly area at 400 meters above sea level. and are grown with an espalier training system with spurred cordon. The climate, influenced by the proximity to the sea and the hills behind it, has a decisive influence on the correct and healthy ripening of the grapes. Agriculture is based on the use of natural organic substances, minimizing the use of chemical treatments and carrying out green pruning, eliminating excess bunches and shoots in order to limit pest attacks and improve quality. The harvest usually begins in the second ten days of September. The vinification is carried out with long maceration at a controlled temperature. The refinement takes place initially in steel silos, then it is placed in tonneaux for about 12 months and then bottled for a further refinement in the bottle for six months in our cellars before being put on the market.
