WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Marion Teroldego involves harvesting the grapes, with approximately 30% being air-dried for about a month prior to fermentation. Fermentation then takes place, followed by an extended aging period of 30 months in Slavonian oak barrels. The producer's philosophy guides the process, focusing on a balance with nature and allowing the wine to mature peacefully in oak.
