WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Otello Ceci NerodiLambrusco is crafted using the Charmat (Martinotti) method, a process designed to preserve the wine's fresh, fruity characteristics. The vinification begins with a red vinification process, involving maceration of the must on the skins for up to seven days. This skin contact extracts color and tannins. Following maceration, alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks. The secondary fermentation, which creates the wine's lively mousse, also occurs in steel tanks, characteristic of the Charmat method.
