| 酿造 |
All bunches of Schioppettino and 50% of the Refosco grapes are dried naturally for 4 - 6 weeks. Grapes not intended for drying are instead selected on sorting benches and then destemmed, crushed and sent for alcoholic fermentation in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of between 25 and 27°C. |
| 陈年 |
Upon racking, the wine is decanted for 48 hours before being placed in new oak barrels for the start of malolactic fermentation, where it then matures for 24 months. After 24 months of ageing in new French oak barriques, all wines are blended and bottled. Bottle ageing can last between 18 and 24 months, depending on the characteristics of the vintage. |
