Vinification

A fresh, lively semi sparkling wine.

Of the "Glera" grape variety. Vines are between 5 and 60 years old.

Hand harvested. Pressed using sophisticated machinery that extracts only the must. 70 kg of grape yields 100 l. of wine. Following the Italian method, the wine is fermented in great steel barrels ideal for pressure, and then allowed to referment. This causes the yeasts to convert remaining sugars into CO2, creating bubbles.
