WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Cuvée Augusto Lessini Durello Riserva Metodo Classico is produced using the traditional method (Metodo Classico). The Durella grapes are hand-harvested and whole clusters are pressed. The initial fermentation takes place in oak barrels, specifically Austrian oak and French barriques, at controlled temperatures. A second fermentation occurs in the bottle, followed by a minimum of 50 months of aging on lees. After disgorging, the wine rests for an additional 6 months.
