Technical Data

Cultivation
The vineyards surrounding Baran's winery, in S. Ambrogio di Trebaseleghe, are located in an area traditionally known as "Glion".

The soil is clayey and contains a thick layer of Paleolithic deposits from the Pleistocene era (called "currant"), resulting in a very dense clay soil.


This type of soil is especially prevalent in the Venetian lakeside area and
It is commonly found in the deposits of the alluvial plains of the Veneto-Friuli region.

Yields are kept low, less than 2kg per vine, due to the characteristics of the vines and a deliberate production policy that focuses on quality.


Vinification
A blend of two different clones of Merlot, fermented in cement tanks.
The wine is aged in barriques for six months, one third of which are new and the rest are barrels that have been used two or three times. After bottling, the wine is aged in the bottle for a further three months.
