WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Lacrimarosa rosé is produced from 100% Aglianico grapes sourced from vineyards in Lapio and Pietradefusi, Campania. The grapes are harvested in mid-October. Vinification occurs in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures to preserve delicate aromas and color. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for several months in steel and then for at least one month in the bottle before release. Mastroberardino's approach emphasizes the safeguarding of regional winemaking heritage through careful viticulture and modern winemaking techniques.
