WINE MAKING PROCESS
While specific vinification details for the 2010 vintage are not fully available, similar wines from Cantina Peppucci, particularly those made from Sagrantino, typically undergo significant aging. This often includes 12 to 14 months in French barriques, followed by an extended period of 18 to 24 months of bottle aging. This meticulous approach allows the robust Sagrantino grape to soften its formidable tannins and develop its complex aromatic profile before release.
