VINIFICATION:
Grapes are hand-selected both for area of origin and overall quality. After gentle pressing of the grapes and clarification of the must, fermentation takes place in temperature controlled stainless steel vats. After fermentation is complete, a second fermentation occurs by small additions of yeasts and sugar, and takes place in glass lined tanks. This lasts for about 45 days and is known as the Martinotti-Charmat method. The resulting wine has small bubbles (less “fizzy” than champagne).
