WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Ca' Bianca Sangiovese Superiore begins with manual harvesting in late October. Grapes are then destemmed and undergo soft pressing. Fermentation starts spontaneously, followed by a maceration period of approximately two weeks on the skins. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 6 to 8 months in stainless steel tanks. This approach focuses on preserving the natural character of the Sangiovese grape and the vineyard's terroir.
