WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Boscarelli Prugnolo Rosso di Montepulciano is produced using grapes selected from young vines. Fermentation takes place in steel vats with indigenous yeast for approximately one week at controlled temperatures of 28-30°C, with a short manual re-passing of the must and pomace. After fermentation, the wine ages for several months in vitrified cement vats, undergoing malolactic fermentation. Prior to bottling, the wine is lightly filtered. The grapes are harvested manually.
