WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Morei Teroldego is produced using biodynamic and organic farming methods. Grapes undergo native fermentation in Spanish amphorae (tinajas) with extended skin contact for eight months. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in amphorae, with some sources indicating a secondary aging period in smaller amphorae. The winemaking process emphasizes minimal intervention, utilizing indigenous yeasts and avoiding temperature control during fermentation. The aging vessels are primarily amphorae, with some mention of old wood, cement, or glass for aging.
