Malvasia di Castelnuovo Don Bosco Gilli di Cascina Gilli is one of the symbolic wines of this company that has always been committed to the recovery and enhancement of the local ampelographic platform. It is composed of 80% Malvasia di Schierano and 20% Malvasia nera lunga, two aromatic red berry varieties almost exclusively found in Piedmont. The vineyards are located at about 380 meters above sea level, on characteristic blue-gray clayey marl soils. The grapes, harvested by hand, are destemmed and gently pressed to avoid breaking the pips which would impart an herbaceous taste. The skins and the must remain together for a short fermentation, aimed more at color extraction than at developing alcohol content. The resulting must is filtered and stored at low temperature to preserve the freshness and aromas. In order to carry out bottling, it is necessary to complete alcoholic fermentation in autoclave, using selected yeasts, until reaching the typical liveliness and 5.5% alcohol by volume.
