WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Bramito della Sala Chardonnay begins with destemming and gentle crushing of the grapes. A short maceration of the must and skins occurs at low temperatures to enhance flavor extraction. Following clarification, different wine lots are fermented separately, with some in oak and others in stainless steel at controlled temperatures. Malolactic fermentation is carried out only in the oak-fermented lots. The wine is then blended and bottled.
