WINE MAKING PROCESS
La Fortezza Falanghina Beneventano is produced using soft pressing of the grapes. The must is then fermented in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures. Some producers within the Falanghina Beneventano IGT may utilize cryo-maceration. Following fermentation, the wine typically ages for 3-4 months in steel tanks, often with lees contact (bâtonnage) to enhance texture and complexity. A minimum of one month of bottle aging follows before the wine is ready for release. The harvest for this wine typically takes place in the latter half of September or early October.
