WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Morfeo Sangiovese Rosé is produced using the traditional method, a process that involves a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. The Sangiovese grapes are hand-harvested during the cooler parts of the day. After soft pressing, the must is fermented at low temperatures and aged in stainless steel tanks before undergoing its secondary fermentation. A significant aspect of its production is the 36-month aging period on its lees in the bottle, which contributes to the wine's complexity and texture. Fattoria Fibbiano adheres to organic farming principles throughout their vineyard management.
