Vineyards “SANMICHELE AI PIANONI”
Oltrepò Pavese, Lombardy (Italy)
The vineyards are located in the heart of the Oltrepò Pavese (Lombardy), almost exactly at 45º latitude N. The location is
mentioned in documents dating back to year 1718, as “Bosco dei Pianori”. As the name suggests, the location is on the flat part of
a plateau at 350/400 metres above sea level, with most of the 10 hectares facing south/south-west. The soil is particularly suitable
for Pinot Noir and aromatic varieties, such as Muscat and Malvasia.
All the wines come from grapes organically grown within the estate, applying and perfecting the tradition and the
experience of a family involved in agriculture for generations. The vines, about 4.000/hectare, are all trained with guyot expallers
and short-pruned, with bunches thinned manually. When time comes, individual grapes are selected and harvested by hand, then
immediately brought to the cellar under low temperature, so as to bring out only the best quality.
The cellar is equipped with advanced technology, quality protocols and security regulations, such as HACCP, are applied
during the whole production cycle. The grapes are soft-pressed and the entire winemaking process is conducted in steel barrels at
a controlled temperature. The barrels are saturated with inert gases in order to maintain the freshness and flavour of the maturing
wines, and the key parameters are frequently controlled by a certified laboratory. The red wines undergo a maturing cycle in wood
for 18-24 months. Bottling is done after microfiltration and in a controlled atmosphere, with a fully automated bottling machine.
SanMichele ai Pianoni is a member of the Quality Wine District “Distretto del Vino di Qualità dell’Oltrepò Pavese” .

“Deep bright gold. Most attractive aromatic nose of sultanas
with a hint of stewed tea and grape pips. Gentle sweetness on
the palate not cloying, good concentration, very smooth, ample
and soft and the unmistakeable charm of the moscato grape.
This is beautifully mature and is perfect for drinking now”
Description
Made entirely from Muscat grapes . After late harvesting, the grapes are left to dry for
3-4 months, up to when they loose about one third of their weight and develop
botrytisation (botrytis cinerea) which gives them added richness. Aged in wood for at
least 12 months. An amber-coloured dessert wine with loads of dried fruit, including
apricots, raisins, orange zest and figs. Aromas of Muscat, with an exotic character of
pineapple and peach. Caramelized notes of honey on the palate. Carried acidity to aid
the sweetness with a long pure and clean length. Full-bodied and zesty, sweet and
thick, with a lively full flavoured aftertaste. Best served at room temperature, with
pastries, chocolate cakes and also mature and blue cheese.

Drying
After late harvesting, the grapes are left to dry on straw mats or in baskets in a
ventilated room. The process of drying removes the water content of the grapes
while concentrating sugar and flavor content.
Vinification
The grapes are then crushed and a slow fermentation begins, initially in stainless
steel vessels under controlled temperature, then slowly in wood until the process
of fermentation stops naturally and the wine is left with residual sugar.
