WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Leonardo Bussoletti Mau Grechetto 2023 is produced using certified organic farming practices. Grapes are hand-harvested and then undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, utilizing the pied de cuve method, in stainless steel tanks for approximately 30 days. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its fine lees in stainless steel for about six months to develop texture and complexity. The wine is then cellared for 1-2 months after bottling before release.
