WINE MAKING PROCESS
Galaverna Spumante Brut is produced using the Martinotti (Charmat) method, where the secondary fermentation takes place in large steel tanks. This technique is employed to create the wine's effervescence and maintain its fresh character. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for a few months on its lees in steel tanks before being bottled. The winemaking process at Ca' de Lion aims to balance modern technologies with traditional winemaking methods.
