WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Doppio Passo Organic Primitivo is crafted using a distinctive 'Doppio Passo' method, which involves two separate harvests. Grapes are hand-harvested first at optimal maturity, and then again at a later stage when they have partially dried on the vine. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures. A key step involves a second fermentation conducted on the pomace from the later harvest, a process intended to amplify the wine's intensity. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks, preserving its fruit-forward profile. The vineyard practices are certified organic.
