WINE MAKING PROCESS
It's Still Prosecco is crafted as a still white wine, known historically as 'Prosecco Tranquillo'. The winemaking process focuses on preserving the natural characteristics of the Glera grape. Grapes undergo alcoholic fermentation at controlled, cool temperatures to retain fresh fruit and floral aromas. Unlike its sparkling counterpart, this wine does not undergo a secondary fermentation for carbonation. It is typically bottled shortly after fermentation to ensure maximum freshness and is not aged extensively, aiming for a vibrant and approachable profile.
