WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are handpicked from vineyards situated between 220 and 250 meters above sea level on iron- and clay-rich Terra Rossa (red soil). Vinification is carried out using temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks (inox) to protect the delicate varietal esters and aromatic purity of the Muscat grape. Fermentation is deliberately halted early via cooling to preserve the natural residual sugars. The wine is aged strictly in stainless steel vats to retain maximum fresh fruit and floral characteristics without any oak influence.
