WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Da Luca Pinot Grigio 2019 begins with harvesting, destemming, and crushing the grapes. A brief four-hour maceration on the skins precedes gentle pressing. Fermentation is conducted at cool temperatures, specifically between 15-16°C, to retain the wine's fruit-forward profile. To ensure the varietal character remains prominent, the wine undergoes no oak aging. This process is designed to yield a crisp and aromatic white wine.
