WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are gently pressed and undergo a temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. To achieve the 'frizzante' character and retain natural sweetness, the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in pressurized autoclaves (Charmat method). The fermentation is stopped early by chilling to leave a pleasant residual sugar level, resulting in a low-alcohol, naturally sweet, and effervescent profile.
