Cellar
Tenuta Fornace spreads over 80 hectares cultivated with passion in full respect of the balance of nature in different wine-growing areas of Oltrepò Pavese and Piedmont. Tenuta Fornace is the result of the dream of Andrea Rossi and his family, who already in the early 19th century cultivated grapes in the Oltrepò Pavese, where the cultivation of vines has millenary origins. The project is to be able to produce each variety and thus to set and raise each vine in the place most suited to it. From the very beginning we have chosen to conduct our vineyards by reducing interventions to a minimum and following what are now the rules dictated by organic and biodynamic farming, even before these were established. During the vinification phases, right up to the bottling of the wines, we do not add sulphites but only allow them to contain the natural ones that are formed in very small quantities during the fermentation phase. They do not clarify or filter the musts and wines but let the two natural physical elements, cold and time, take their course and are solely responsible for the natural decantation of their wines.
Description
Sette Nani is made from a blend of Riesling from 70-year-old vines and a small quantity of other indigenous varieties. From the union of this family of vines with such different characteristics, but all of which find in the Oltrepò Pavese a perfect area in which to best express their characteristics, comes this wine with aromas that are at the same time fruity and flavoursome.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Straw yellow colour. Fresh, fruity and floral nose, citrusy with reverberations of aromatic herbs. The palate is firm, with nice acidity that increases salivation and entices the drinker.
Storage time:
1-5 years
Vinification
Alcoholic fermentation is only spontaneous and takes place exclusively with its own indigenous yeasts contained in the grapes, after which it is refined for a few months on the lees in steel.
