VINIFICATIONT

he grapes have to be harvested within the first ten days of September.
Once in the winery, grapes are destemmed, crushed and chilled (temperature of 13-14°C) for a short criomaceration. Then, after 12-18 hours, they are put in the pneumatic press to divide the skins from the must (soft crush). The must is then left to rest about two days in stainless steel thermo-conditioned tanks (13°C) to separate the turbidity.
The clear must is filtered and stored in stainless tanks at a temperature of 0°C.
Before the bottling, the must has to be put in sealed tanks and selected yeasts are added. Now, carrying out the Martinotti-Charmant method, the partial fermentation of the sugars begins.
Eventually, after clarification, the isobaric bottling is carried out, in order to transfer the soft bubbles from the tanks to the bottles; so then the Rosso Dolce Birbet is ready to be marketed.
