Vinification & Aging:
The destemmed and crushed grapes underwent rapid cooling to 16°C in a COâ‚‚-protected environment. This process enhances the extraction of anthocyanins and polyphenols from the grape skins. The alcoholic fermentation lasted approximately 16–17 days at a controlled temperature of 27–28°C. After racking, malolactic fermentation followed. The wine was then aged in medium-small oak barrels (2.25 hl – 15 hl), followed by larger barrels.
The Riserva matures in wood for at least three years and is further refined in the bottle for a minimum of six months.
