WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Mocenni 89 begins with hand-harvested grapes from the specific 'Particella 89' vineyard. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks using wild yeasts at temperatures between 28-30°C, followed by a 20-day maceration period. Malolactic fermentation occurs in large oak barrels. The wine is then aged for about 24 months in large 42-hectoliter oak barrels, followed by bottle refinement before release. The estate emphasizes sustainable agriculture and a philosophy of terroir transparency.
