WINE MAKING PROCESS
Le Fraghe Bardolino DOC 2021 is produced using grapes from 15-year-old vines grown at an elevation of 190 meters on south-facing slopes. The soil is a product of glacial deposits, consisting of schist, sedimentary rock, and gravel. The vineyard density is 5,000 strains per hectare. Viticulture is certified organic, and the harvest is done by hand with yields of 90 q/ha. The Corvina and Rondinella grapes are vinified separately in stainless steel tanks. Maceration lasts 7-8 days, coinciding with fermentation, and involves daily cap management through délestage and pump-over. Cool maceration is employed. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks until bottling in the spring, with no oak usage.
