WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Il Nespoli Romagna Sangiovese Superiore Riserva begins with the harvest of Sangiovese grapes in late September to mid-October. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures (25-26°C) with techniques like pump-overs and délestage used to maximize the extraction of color and aroma. Malolactic fermentation follows.

Poderi dal Nespoli is committed to sustainable farming practices and minimizing environmental impact throughout their production.
