WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Dolcetto di Pegaso 2022 likely involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the grape's inherent fruitiness. Dolcetto is an early-ripening variety, often harvested before other Piedmontese grapes, allowing for its cultivation on various vineyard sites. The wine is typically aged briefly, if at all, in stainless steel to maintain its freshness and is bottled for early consumption. The use of 250 ml cans represents an innovative packaging approach.
