The vineyards
As you arrive in the valley gently sloping from MONTALCINO, your gaze cannot help but be drawn to the ridge hosting the vineyards of the CORDELLA Estate, which perhaps, as if by a twist of fate, seem to take on the shape of a large inverted ‘C’, with two splendid Tuscan cypress trees standing guard at the summit.
The first three hectares of historic vineyard were planted in 1998, while others have been added from the year 2000 onwards, totaling 25 hectares, taking into account precise geological and hydrogeological surveys, which have revealed the nature of the soil composed of Pliocene clayey-sandy sediments belonging to the Neoautoctono complex.
The vineyards are located at an altitude of approximately 350 meters above sea level, on gently sloping terrain that descends towards the valley floor.
The planted area consists of 8 hectares of BRUNELLO di MONTALCINO D.O.C.G. CORDELLA, and 3 hectares of ROSSO di MONTALCINO D.O.C., all Sangiovese Grosso, which in MONTALCINO is known as BRUNELLO.
The planting system is spur-pruned cordon, with a spacing of three meters by ninety centimeters, while the vineyard density reaches 3800/4000 vines per hectare, sourced from selections of important historical vines with very resistant rootstocks.
All vineyard work is done manually: pruning, shoot thinning, shoot positioning, green pruning, cluster thinning before veraison, and finally, harvesting.
The grapes are entirely organic, and the organic production process is certified by the ICEA organization.
Harvesting is done manually, selecting only the best clusters, which are carefully placed in small crates and promptly brought to the cellar. In fact, the time between harvesting and the arrival of the grapes in the cellar from each individual area is very short. Subsequently, the grapes are manually selected and sorted with an optical reading machine to ensure the highest quality of the product.
Each vineyard has its own name to guarantee traceability:
