Vecchie Vigne Casal di Serra was created to preserve and glorify the great historical and qualitative heritage of the old vineyards on the Montecarotto farm. The old vines were planted in the early 70s, and their particular position and fine balance between fruit and leaf growth means that the grapes can be harvested when they have reached a perfect ripening status. The wine is aged over a long period, first in concrete tanks in contact with the native yeasts and subsequently in bottle, and that gives this cru its particular fullness and brings out the typical Verdicchio character.
Vineyard The vineyards are more than thirty years old and trained on the doppio capovolto system. they are situated at about 300 meters above sea level, on a hillside facing east/south?east. The soil is very deep, clay loam, fairly fresh, and represents the ideal for a vine such as Verdicchio. The yield per hectare is between 6 and 7 tons. Harvest The grapes are picked by hand, and collected in boxes. The harvest takes place on the borderline between the first and second ten days in October, when the grapes have reached a perfect ripening status.
Serving glass: Goblet of medium size and roughly spherical shape, to allow better appreciation of the complex aromas. A straight opening will enhance the flavour of the wine in the mouth, by directing it first to the sides and rear of the tongue, and then to the tip, and allow its softness to be properly evaluated.
Pairings: Roast white meat, roasted fish, stuffed pasta.
Ideal serving temperature: 12?14°C
