WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Guado de' Gemoli begins with grapes sourced from estate vineyards planted in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks using indigenous yeasts, a method chosen to highlight the natural character of the fruit. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for a minimum of 18 months, and potentially up to 20 months, in French oak barrels. This extended period in oak contributes to the wine's structure, complexity, and aging potential. The estate adheres to certified organic farming practices throughout its vineyards.
