WINE MAKING PROCESS
Il Vino Che Non C'È Rosso is produced using a philosophy of minimal intervention. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Maceration typically lasts between 10 to 15 days. The wine is then aged for one to two years in terracotta or clay amphorae, followed by a period of bottle aging. It is bottled unfined and unfiltered, with minimal or no added sulfites, preserving its natural character and complexity.
