WINE MAKING PROCESS
Chazalettes Vermouth Rosso della Regina begins with a base of red Piedmont wine, predominantly Barbera. The process involves the maceration of a complex blend of botanicals, including herbs sourced from the Alps, oranges from Sicily, and spices from Africa, India, and South America. These botanicals are either macerated directly in the wine or in a hydroalcoholic solution. Following maceration, the mixture is pressed, sweetened, and fortified to achieve the desired alcohol content and sweetness level. The final stage involves filtration to ensure clarity before bottling. This method adheres to the original recipe created in 1876.
