Vinification

Vinification: only the finest grapes in the best areas, which have been able to give additional strength to the ripening of the grapes, qualify for our Primo Passo. We, family and friends, take the utmost care during harvest. Merlot grapes are hand selected and only perfect berries of the highest quality are placed in small boxes. These are dried in a cool, well-ventilated. Through this process we obtain a higher content of sugars, acids and aromas. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The young Primo Passo is aged in selected French barriques for about 2 years.

Drying: 9 days

Maceration: 22 days

Current Vintage

2020 was an incredible year for Stradivini. Rain which fell early in the year made the soil conditions ideal for the first sprouting that started early on at the end of March. Excellent flowering and berry development was supported by favorable weather conditions in spring and early summer. August weather conditions were perfect for ripening, with mild and constant temperatures maintained until harvest. The harvest in mid-September was of excellent quality. From the first moment it was clear to us that the precisely picked and selected fruit could possess great potential. This is the vintage that will never cease to surprise us.
