Vermentino 87%, Viognier 9%, Manzoni Bianco. 4%
Remarkably heterogeneous they mainly have clayey-silty features.
90-120 meters above sea level.
The vineyards are located in a large hilly area lapped by a stream, which determines a warm, cool, ventilated temperate climate, with great excursion between day and night, favoring the cultivation and development of the aromas in the wine.
Guyot rearing, with arch, rows that follow the natural course of the slope of the land, ride on a hill, and are oriented north-south, optimizing the lighting of the sun.
Vines every 60 cm on rows at a distance of 220 cm, a bit more than 5680 vines per hectare.
Organic and Biodynamic, with the certification of Icea, and of Demeter. The vines are cultivated in a natural way, without chemical fertilizers, without using systemic products, favoring the fertilization of the land with the practice of green manure, with symbiosis by mycorrhizae. The treatments against downy mildew are limited to the minimum doses of copper (3 kg/ha) and sulfur, allowed in Biodynamic agriculture. The biodynamic approach induces not to trim the vineyard in June and to spray it with decoctions made by us with nettle, viscose inula and equisetum, collected in the farm. The self-regulation in the production of the fruits and the complex connection with the natural resources allows to obtain high quality bunches.
The cultivation without forcing, in harmony with the rhythms and natural resources, determines a low yield per hectare. The selection of the grapes and the naturalness of the vinifications, without adding chemical additives, express and enhance the uniqueness of the Bolgheri terroir in the wine.
The grape harvest started on the first days of August, early in the morning to maintain the aromatic potential, supported by a good acidity; firsts the Manzoni Bianco and the Viognier, then the Vermentino which was harvested in two passages at the end of September. The grapes were harvested by hand in order to select the best clusters, which were carried to the cellar with little cassettes.
The must from the Manzoni Bianco and Viognier grapes has macerated with the skins for 5 days. Then separated from the skins, the must fermented with indigenous yeasts, at low temperature in a steel tank for 10 days. The Vermentino grapes, harvested in two steps, de-stemmed, fermented separately. Finally the three wines were united.
After decanting, keeping the fine lees, the wine was placed in a in 500-liter terracotta jars for 6 months.
The winter without rain, and a dry and hot spring have caused a decrease in the quantity of grapes but a greater intensity, acidity and aromatic component. For this reason it was a season in which phytosanitary treatments were minimal. Finally, in the second half of August, the rains arrived to give resources and vigor to the grapes before the harvest.

An abundantly rainy winter supplied the water table well, some spring frosts slightly reduced the potential of the grapes, but overall a hot and dry summer, without excess, favored the good vegetative development of the vine. Then in September, before the harvest, we had beneficial rainfall and a fall in temperatures, which favored phenolic ripening, resulting in a surprising quality of the grapes, in particular for the richness of aromas, gustatory depth, structure and concentration.

The winter was mild, with rare rains. In March there are still a few cold days. The temperature rose from mid-April, resulting in a regular spring, with excellent flowering and fruit set from May onwards. The rains in June greatly stimulated the vegetation of the vines, forcing hard work in the vineyard. Hot and dry summer, with many days above average, but cool nights, for good acidity and development of aromas in the grapes. Some rain at the end of August to reduce the water stress of the vines. The harvest at Mulini di Segalari began at the end of August with Manzoni Bianco and Viognier, then Vermentino after mid-September, in two passes.

Mild temperatures in the first winter, with cold days between January and February. Spring was cool at the beginning, with frequent rains, the budding of the vines was delayed, while in May the temperatures dropped significantly, delaying the vegetative restart. Then a sudden hot in June and July, with rains only at the end of the month, made the vegetative cycle resume steadily and vigorously. In August and September the weather was sunny and more stable, optimal for obtaining a good ripening of the grapes.
