2. Production Process
-
Grape Selection: Carefully selected Montepulciano grapes are hand-harvested during the third decade of September and placed in small 5 kg crates.
-
Grape Drying: The grapes are dried in temperature-controlled rooms for approximately 120 days, gradually losing around 40% of their water content and developing concentrated fruit aromas.
-
Fermentation: After gentle pressing, the grapes undergo fermentation and maceration in stainless steel tanks for approximately six months at 25–30°C.
-
Oak Aging: The wine is aged in American oak barrels for approximately 18 months, enhancing its complexity, structure, and toasted aromas.
