Pinot Nero Fallwind di San Michele Appiano begins vinification in mid-September and the selection and harvesting takes place manually. The vines are located on gravelly soils with a calcareous content and the presence of clay. The grapes grow on the wine route in Appiano and Termeno (420-550 meters above sea level). Fallwind Pinot Noir ferments in steel barrels, then refinement takes place in barrique-tonneau for approximately 12 months with a malolactic fermentation, to finish the process with assembly and maturation in concrete barrels.
