Wine making	The wine starts fermentation with a part of whole bunches. A small portion of unfermented must is then immediately removed from the crushed part and frozen. After that the wine ferments for about 15 days, limiting the number of pumping over and manipulations. At this point, the Freisa is left to rest in old wooden containers, without added sulphur, where it will undergo malolactic fermentation. Before racking, the sweet must is thawed, 'dissolved' in the wine. The entire mass is then bottled. Through the practice of 'remuage', the wine continues to ferment in the bottle, a fundamental process for the 'creation' of the typical fine bubble perceived on the palate.
Aging	Bottles should be kept in an upright position and in a cool environment for regular fermentation in the bottle. This wine should be consumed chilled (10/12 °C). It has good ageing potential, as the natural carbon dioxide is the best known antioxidant.
Allergens	Contains sulphites
