The vineyard faces west\/south-west, situated just 56 metres above sea level, with coarse red sandstone and a layer of deep compact clay, rich in minerals. The vines planted in 1994 are spur-cordon trained, planted at 9,000 vines per hectare. The wine is named after Walter Allegrini, the late brother of Marilisa and Franco.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eAfter de-stemming and soft pressing to partially break the berries, fermentation took place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks at 28-30°C for 15 days with a further 25-30 days skin contact.
