GRAPE HARVEST: After a careful selection, only the grapes that have reached the perfect maturation are harvested. Grapes are collected separately and mixed together only later, after the svinatura

 

VINIFICATION: immediately after the harvest and after the desteming, the grapes are moved into the fermentation vats. In the vats, the “tumultuous fermentation” begins and lasts 10 days. During this process, the temperature is carefully regulated to preserve the characteristic aromas of the different grapes. After controlled decanting in steel and wood barrels, the wine starts its aging and maturation process. This is “the way it used to be” (Vespero).

 

COMPSUMPTION: bottling starts 18 months after the harvest; the wine is at its best after aging between two and five years.
