WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Cantina Zaccagnini dal Tracetto Pecorino involves several key steps designed to preserve the grape's character. Grapes undergo soft pressing, followed by cryo-maceration and vacuum pressing to isolate the 'flower must.' The must is then clarified cold before fermentation at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks. The wine is subsequently aged in stainless steel to retain its aromatic purity.
