VINIFICATION AND AGEING

Harvesting Accurate and timely thinning ensures grape yields per unit area within the limits set by the production regulations. Harvesting takes place at the beginning of September, selecting the ripest and healthiest bunches, which are picked by hand into crates.

Basic vinification The grapes, delivered intact to the winery, are immediately destemmed and crushed. A soft pressing follows, trying to minimise any possible contact with the air. Alcoholic fermentation lasts about seven days and is carried out at a controlled temperature. At the end of fermentation, the base wine is obtained, which is cooled and separated from the coarser lees.

Sparkling The mousse takes place in stainless steel tanks very slowly to enhance the varietal aromas in the wine.
