WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Cantina Sociale Copertino Copertino Riserva 2016 is produced under the Copertino DOC regulations, which mandate that winemaking operations, including aging, must occur within the production zone. Riserva wines require a minimum of two years of aging. The 2016 vintage is noted for its extended bottle aging. The Negroamaro grape, the primary varietal, thrives in the region's calcareous soils and warm climate, contributing to the wine's robust character.
