Vinification Details
Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature between 22-24°C, with pumping over of the must in order to achieve the best extraction of colour, soft tannins and aromas from the skins. The grapes for ¿appassimento¿ are dried for about 30 days on trays in a ventilated room until they lose at least 25% of their natural weight. After ¿appassimento¿ the grapes are gently crushed and fermented at about 24 C°. The two wines are blended together in order to produce the malolactic fermentation.
