Cantina Rubio
The cellar is located at the Salorino cellars, which are grouped together in one area at the entrance to the village. They are characterised by a central entrance door with an air intake window and are particularly cool: they keep 8-9° in summer and 10-11° in winter.
The white grapes are harvested and selected by hand, a light maceration takes place in steel barrels; alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in barriques at 16°. The wine remains for 6/8 months in barriques until bottling.
The red grapes are harvested and selected by hand, a 20-day maceration in steel vats takes place, after malolactic fermentation the wine matures for 15 to 30 months in medium toasted barriques
