The red “Loghetto - Ammandorlato” is a wine that originates from the experience of one of the historic wineries of the Pavese region. The Fratelli Agnes, since 1960, have been dedicated to enhancing the most typical red grape variety of the area, seeking to highlight the Croatina in all its possible expressions. The grapes come from an old vineyard over 80 years old, planted with an ancient clone, now very rare, that produces small-sized bunches. These are vines with a very low yield, but they produce grapes with very intense and concentrated aromas. At the end of the harvest operations, the best bunches,selected directly in the vineyard, are placed in special boxes to rest, in order to favor a natural dehydration, before proceeding with the classic red winemaking with skin maceration.
