THE VINEYARD
The vineyard of Domaine Paradella (8 ha) is located on an exceptional clay-limestone terroir at the foot of the limestone cliffs separating Patrimonio from the sea, offering the appellation its unique microclimate.
6 hectares are reserved for red wine (Niellucciu) and 2.5 hectares for white wine (Vermentinu).
Niellucciu (Sangiovese from Tuscany) finds here an exceptional expression ground, allowing the production of balanced and structured wines, whose complexity is their richness.
As part of the Patrimonio appellation, which has banned glyphosate, all viticultural work is carried out according to the principles of Organic Farming.
These practices aim to achieve optimal grape maturity while respecting the terroir and the vintage.
The quest for optimal phenolic maturity is the foundation of our work in the vineyard. Harvesting and sorting are rigorously carried out by hand.
VINIFICATION
While the work in the vineyard, the soils, and the balance of ecosystems are fundamental conditions for expressing the terroir of Domaine Paradella and creating great wines, the pursuit of excellence must also be reflected in the winemaking stages (fermentation, aging).
Maturation (Red wine)
Malolactic fermentation is carried out in new barrels. The wine is then aged in new barrels (Radoux Blend) for 16 to 20 months. This high-quality choice both enhances the fruit and achieves a rich balance between the various elements through the migration of oxygen through completely homogeneous oak grains.
Maturation (White wine)
The clarification of the must (débourbage) is done in thermoregulated stainless-steel vats. The alcoholic fermentation is fully carried out in our new barrels specially designed for aging white wine (aging for 6 to 8 months). Malolactic fermentation (the transformation of malic acid into lactic acid) is also done in barrels. This allows for the optimal balance needed to create a white wine suitable for aging.
