VINIFICATION: Grapes are accurately selected both for area of
origin and quality. The soft pressed must is stored in steel tanks
for the static cold decanting. The fermentation with selected
yeasts, is made at a controlled constant temperature of 18°C and
is completed in 8/10 days. The team of oenologists select the best
wines obtained to continue the sparkling winemaking process.
Afterwards the wine is filtered in steel tanks with the addition of
saccharose and selected yeasts for the second fermentation
(Martinotti - Charmat method) at a controlled temperature of
14/15 °C. Once the wine has reached the required pressure levels,
alcohol and sugar content, it is refrigerated, cold stabilized (–2/-
3°C), filtered and controlled before bottling.
