Furthermore, the particular geographical position, nestled between the Sibillini Mountains and the Adriatic Sea, contributes to the unique climate of the area. The harvest is done by hand with careful selection of the bunches, and in the winery, fermentations occur spontaneously mostly in oak vats, with prolonged skin macerations, although for the wines that are meant to be more immediate, stainless steel tanks are also used. For the subsequent aging phase, French oak barriques or steel containers can be employed, always depending on the specific label. Throughout the entire process, the additions of sulfites are minimal, and invasive clarification and filtration operations are excluded.
