Sant'Helena

The Sant'Helena line enhances and expresses the quality of the Fantinel production at its best. What we mean by quality is the clonal research, a selection of only top quality grapes and the reduced yield. The whites of the Sant'Helena line – The crus are the result of vines that have been cultivated and selected in the heart of the Collio region, in the restricted areas of Vencò - Vigneti Sant'Helena, whereas the reds are the result of a meticulous selection of clones and the best grapes in the Grave del Friuli region from the Sant'Helena vineyards in the Tauriano estate. 
These grapes, which are perfectly healthy and integral, strictly hand-harvested after careful selection, are vinified with the application of the cryomaceration method to extract as much of the aroma as possible enhancing its typicalness. It is important to highlight that the quality of the Sant'Helena products also depends on the area of production in which the Eocenic originating soil structures together with the microclimate, a rare combination of temperature, humidity and ventilation, make these wines unique and inimitable. The high density, around 4,900 vines per hectare, bearing a maximum of 1.3 kg of grapes per plant on average, hand-harvesting with careful selection, crushing and soft pressing, temperature controlled fermentation and to end the process, the ideal amount of ageing to preserve the product’s characteristics, guarantee a wine of absolute quality.
