WINE MAKING PROCESS
Cinzano Asti is produced using the Asti Method, also known as the Charmat Method. The primary fermentation occurs, followed by a second fermentation in pressurized stainless steel tanks. This refermentation process is carefully controlled to retain the characteristic aromas of the Muscat Bianco grape. The wine is bottled under pressure to maintain its effervescence. The goal is to capture the grape's natural fruitiness and aromatic profile without the addition of sugar, alcohol, or carbon dioxide during the winemaking process.
