WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of this Bardolino DOC involves a short maceration period on the skins, typically lasting 8-10 hours, to extract color and aroma without excessive tannins. Fermentation occurs over 10-12 days at controlled temperatures (20-22°C) to preserve fruitiness. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged for 3-4 months in steel vats to maintain its freshness and light character before bottling.
