Vineyard of production:
Like all the wines of La Nascosta, the Gisso is produced from vineyards of the Estate, in the heart of the Val d’Orcia. Destined for Gisso are three small vineyards covering a total area of about 1.3 hectares, at altitudes varying between 400 and 460 meters. Exposed to East and South/East, they arise on a clayey-marnoscistic soils, interspersed with clay and galestri that tend to flake off in small and thin foils with colors ranging from deep red to gray. The characteristics of the soil and the precision techniques used to achieve the highest quality result in very low yields, of between 50 and 60 quintals per hectare.
Vinification and Aging:
DISCOVER THE OTHER WINES:
The timing of the grape harvest may change from year to year and vary in the three different vineyards, depending on when the Sauvignon Blanc reaches its optimal ripeness. The harvest, as for all the productions of la Nascosta, is done rigorously by hand. The selected grapes are then immediately cooled to 8°C (46.4°F). Once this temperature is reached, a second selection of the grapes is carried out, followed by their de-stemming (from 75% to 90% of the bunches). Depending on the vintage, a cold maceration can follow. The grapes from the three individual vineyards take three separate fermentation paths (micro-vinifications) and undergo a period of about nine months of refinement in steel on their own yeasts, during which batonnages are performed, on average on a weekly basis. In May, the three masses of wine are jointly combined and bottled. To achieve its optimal refinement, the wine is allowed to rest in bottle for about another five months, at controlled temperature and humidity and in the absence of light
