VINIFICATION

The grapes are left to wither directly on the vine until November, in order to favor a natural and optimal concentration of sugars and aromas in the bunches. Once harvested, the grapes are brought to the winery, destemmed, and gently pressed.
The must is then transferred into temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks to undergo alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature of around 14 °C. Since the must is extremely rich in sugars, the fermentation process progresses very slowly, taking up to two months to fully complete. Once fermentation is finished, the wine is bottled. It then undergoes a bottle-aging process of about one year before its final release onto the market.
