WINE MAKING PROCESS
Lambrusco Villa Picta 2020 is produced using the traditional 'rifermentato' method, where a secondary fermentation occurs in the bottle to create its sparkle. The wine is intentionally unfined and unfiltered, with minimal or no added sulfites, reflecting a natural winemaking approach. The grapes are grown under certified organic farming practices, with a focus on vine health and gentle vineyard management. The vinification process aims to preserve the natural character of the Lambrusco grape and express the minerality of the estate's alluvial soil.
