Winemaking Information
After being harvested at the end of August, each of the 11 parcels is vinified individually. After destemming, various amounts of maceration takes place: one day to three weeks, depending on the phenolic maturation of the vintage. The juices ferment in a variety of stainless steel or ceramic tanks, demijohns as well as chestnut barrels before being blended together in February. 20mg/l of S02 is added at bottling, which occurs in Spring on a waxing moon.

Fun Facts: Soki Soki represents Tanca Nica's largest production. It is sourced from 11 terraced parcels - tancas in Pantescan - within six contradas, all with differnt micro-climates and elevations, each averaging 30 ares. The vines are 80+ years old and trained in Alberello Pantesco, a system so unique it was given UNESCO World Heritage status!
