WINEMAKING | L'uva viene pigiata molto delicatamente dopo la diraspatura. Durante le prime fasi della fermentazione, che dura circa 15 giorni ad una temperatura controllata di circa 28 °C, si effettuano molti rimontaggi per estrarre la giusta quantità di colore e di tannini morbidi. Una volta terminata la fermentazione, il vino viene travasato e si procede alla malolattica. |
