WINE MAKING PROCESS
Grapes are harvested 100% manually from five distinct sub-zones across Verduno. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with an extended maceration of 25 to 30 days. The wine ages for approximately 36 months in traditional large Slavonian and French oak casks (20-40 hectoliters), followed by 2 months in stainless steel and at least 6 months of bottle refinement prior to release.
