Technical notes

The grapes, harvested by hand in the vineyards surrounding the winery, are softly pressed. The resulting free-run must is put in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats and cooled down to extract the best aromatic substances. The free-run must is then clarified. The alcoholic fermentation is started using selected yeasts and is carried out at a controlled temperature. The fermentation is stopped to keep the desired level of residual sugar. The wine is then racked. The natural bubbles are produced by a secondary fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel autoclaves. The secondary fermentation is started using selected yeasts. The wine is then filtered, stabilised and bottled.
