Production method

The grapes are harvested early in order to respect their acidity and aromaticity and, after a delicate pressing, they are put to macerate at low temperature for few hours. The must is separated from the skins by soft pressing and fermented at controlled temperature with selected aromatic yeasts. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks and then undergoes the sparkling process according to the Charmat method.
