WINE MAKING PROCESS
Contro Tempo Brut 2020 is a white sparkling wine produced by Mossi Aziende Agricole Vitivinicole. The winemaking process involves soft pressing of the Ortrugo grapes, followed by static cleaning of the must at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is then initiated, likely with specific yeast inoculation, to create the wine's characteristic effervescence. While the exact method of secondary fermentation for sparkling wine production (Charmat or Traditional) is not specified, the goal is to achieve a dry (Brut) profile. The winery is located on the Piacenza hills at an altitude of approximately 300 meters.
