WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Decus Chiaretto di Bardolino DOC Classico involves the soft pressing of grapes, followed by a very short maceration period with the skins, typically lasting 15 to 20 hours. Fermentation is carried out at a controlled temperature of 15-16°C to preserve aromatic integrity. The wine is then stored in thermoconditioned stainless steel tanks to maintain its freshness. Bottling is conducted using a sterile bottling line to ensure stability and quality. The winery also emphasizes minimal sulfur dioxide usage.
