As you would expect from this vineyard cru, the Cannubi is the most delicate and feminine of this threesome.

92 Point Wine Advocate
"After careful manual harvesting the grapes are brought to the cellars in perforated plastic bins. After crushing and de-stemming, they undergo a floating cap fermentation at 26oC with frequent daily pump-overs. The wine is then given a 4-6 day submerged-cap maceration with a daily pump-over. After an extended 10-12-day maceration the wine is taken off the skins and racked often for the first few weeks. It is then kept at a constant temperature to induce malolactic fermentation. Once the malolactic is complete, the wine is matured for one year in Slovenian oak 20-25 hl botti. The wine is then bottled and remains in the cellar for 6 months for further ageing, and then released." Winemaker's Notes
