WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Gelso Nero Uva Di Troia is produced using traditional winemaking techniques, with a focus on the indigenous Nero di Troia grape. The 2022 vintage benefited from a balanced growing season, leading to grapes with optimal ripeness and concentration. Fermentation likely takes place in controlled environments such as stainless steel or concrete tanks to preserve the grape's natural characteristics. Post-fermentation, the wine may undergo aging, potentially in oak, to develop structure and complexity. The producer's philosophy emphasizes authenticity and the representation of Puglia's winemaking heritage.
