WINE MAKING PROCESS
Tenute Lunelli Pietragrande is produced using primarily Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The fermentation process is conducted in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with the use of selected yeasts, a technique designed to maintain the wine's freshness and aromatic profile. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes an aging period of at least six months in the cellar. The vineyard management emphasizes sustainable practices within the mountain environment of Trentino, with yields managed at 70 hectoliters per hectare.
