pigiodiraspatura, the must obtained is introduced into steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 22/24°C, where alcoholic fermentation takes place for 10-15 days. An eventual maceration on the skins follows based on the vintage. Part of the wine rests for 15 months in cement tanks where malolactic fermentation takes place, another part, also for 15 months, but in 50 hl Slavonian oak. In the cellar, reduced use of sulfites is favored and spontaneous fermentations are enhanced to preserve the authenticity of the territory as much as possible.
