WINE MAKING PROCESS
Le Altane Prosecco Extra Dry is produced using the Charmat method, also known as tank fermentation. This involves a secondary fermentation in pressurized stainless steel tanks (autoclaves) to create the wine's characteristic bubbles and preserve its fresh aromas. The wine is typically aged briefly in stainless steel to maintain its vibrancy. The Glera grape is the primary varietal, with harvest timed to capture optimal fruit ripeness and acidity. The production adheres to Prosecco DOC regulations.
