WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Musella Drago Bianco is produced using biodynamic viticulture. The Garganega grapes are harvested at the end of September. A key technique involves a 4-8 hour skin maceration without temperature control. Fermentation is spontaneous, utilizing indigenous yeasts, often in steel tanks, and may undergo malolactic fermentation. The wine then ages for 9 months in pink Verona marble containers or steel vats. It is bottled unfiltered and unclarified.
