WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Antares Brut Rosé Millesimato 2017 begins with the vinification of the base wine, followed by tirage in the bottle for the second fermentation. This is succeeded by an extended period of maturation on lees, lasting over 40 months, during which gentle movement of the bottles facilitates interaction between the lees and other wine components. The process concludes with disgorgement and dosage, designed to enhance the wine's elegance. The grapes are sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Trentino, where climatic conditions promote slow and harmonious maturation.
