WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Allegrini Lugana Oasi Mantellina 2022 begins with a soft pressing of the grapes. The resulting must undergoes fermentation, with the process carefully managed to preserve the wine's aromatic profile. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 4 months in steel tanks to maintain its freshness and structure. It then spends an additional 2 months aging in the bottle before being released. This method aims to highlight the characteristics derived from the Turbiana and Cortese grape varieties and the Lugana terroir.
