WINE MAKING PROCESS
La Tigre is produced using 100% Trebbiano Toscano grapes. The winemaking process involves spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in wooden barrels. A key technique is the extended maceration on the skins, lasting for at least 6 months and sometimes up to 10 months. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in wooden barrels. Niccolò Lari's approach emphasizes minimal intervention, with no clarifying agents or invasive treatments used. The harvest is conducted manually, with careful selection of grape bunches. Viticulture is practiced without chemical or synthetic substances, focusing on working in harmony with nature.
