Our single-vineyard wines made from the best parcels of the Quinta de Quercus Estate: the 24.3-ha “Camino Las Morras” and the 20.9-ha “Viña Ocaña”. Both are hillside plantings of around 30 year-old Tempranillo vines, studded with centenary oak trees and farmed sustainably to achieve perfectly balanced wines. We produce two labels from these parcels: the firs wine Quercus and the second wine Quinta de Quercus. Both wines reflect the vineyards’ 800m altitude in their distinct freshness and elegance, while also displaying excellent concentration, purity and depth. While Quinta de Quercus is more fruit-driven and approachable in youth, Quercus is the finer, more complex wine, needing more bottle age to reach its plenitude.

This grappa is made from a blend of grapes of the of the best areas of Northeast Italy. The marcs fresh and winy maintain all the intensity of the fragrance and flavor of the original grapes. After fermentation in special plastic sacks, intended for food use, are distilled in steam stills. It produces a white, soft and fragranced grappa that is refined in steel barrels for 6 months so that all the aromas can mix together perfectly.

Amarone is the robust and excellent wine of Valpolicella that is aged in oak barrels for over 2 years. It is long-lived and characterized by its significant structure and raisin scents. The grappa exactly represents the main characteristics of the wine. The distillation is carried out in steam alembics and it is followed by a few months of refininement in stainless-steel tanks.

Bolgheri is an outlying administrative division of the municipality Castagneto Carducci, situated in the middle of Maremma Livornese on the hills Colline Metallifere. This place is famous for the great red wines that are produced. Thanks to the particular characteristics of the soil and to the sunny, dry and mildly windy microclimate, the vines of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, have become very suitable for this zone. It guarantees excellent quality wines. The marcs of Bolgheri are distilled in copper alembics, where they meet a steam stream that extracts the hydroalcoholic solution and aromas. The product obtained is therefore refrigerated at a temperature of -10° C and then filtered on natural materials, in order to separate the unwanted components that are still present. The grappa obtained is mellowed in smoked barrels.

Acquavite d'uva is obtained by steam-distilling grape marc without separating it from the grape skins. With its elegant, defined and fruity body, it is a new style of fruit eau-de-vie, that differs from grappa. The difference lies in the materials used and in the rounder character that makes eau-de-vie as tasty as the fruit itself.

The name Prosecco calls to mind the wine well-known all over the world. The aromatic marc obtained from the typical yellow-green grapes of the vine Glera is distilled following Sandro Bottega's method when it is still fresh and vinous. The resulting grappa is then refined inside stainless steel containers for 3 to 6 months, in order to allow the different aromas to blend.

Pinot grapes typically come in small, cylindrical, juicy bunches. The berries are grey (Pinot Gris) or black (Pinot Noir). The marc resulting from this variety is carefully fermented and kept separate from the new juice. The grappa, obteined from a still that uses a discontinuous steam process, is characterized by pronounced aromas

Prosecco Doc Spumante Extra Dry

It is an Extra Dry sparkling wine that is characterized, compared to a traditional Prosecco, by the pronounced aromatic intensity that enhances the organoleptic characteristics.

CHARACTERISTICS

The farming system of the vineyards, grown according to the principles of organic farming, is characterized by the exclusive use of organic and natural pesticides, that ban the chemical pesticides from the vineyard.

During the ageing on the lees (which lasts for 16-18 months), the yeasts in autolysis release the substances that enrich the bouquet and the body of the wine. After the maturation, the bottles are placed neck down on «pupitres» to perform the daily «remuage» (riddling), which consist in gradually turning and inverting the bottles to favor the deposit of the lees in the neck of the bottle. The next step is the «disgorgement».The neck of the bottle is placed in a solution of freezing brine, which freezes the lees into a sort of hard pellet. Once the bottle is opened, the pressure from the bubbles in the bottle push out the pellet of frozen sediment, after which the dosage is added and the wine is re-corked and packaged for sale.
