WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Oppeddentro Grana d'Elia 2022 is produced using a minimal intervention approach. Grapes are harvested between mid and late September. Vinification involves spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by a maceration period of two to three weeks with soft foot-treading. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged in stainless steel tanks on its lees. The use of sulfites is minimized, with the 2022 vintage having a total of 28 mg/l of SO2 at bottling. The wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined.
