WINE MAKING PROCESS
La Gioiosa Prosecco Brut Organic is produced using organic viticulture. The grapes are soft-pressed, and the resulting must is fermented in temperature-controlled tanks at 15-16°C to preserve aromas. Fermentation is halted by refrigeration to achieve the desired alcohol and sugar levels. The wine then matures in stainless steel tanks for at least two months on its lees before bottling. This process avoids oak aging, focusing on maintaining the wine's fresh and fruity character. The winery also employs sustainable practices, including renewable energy sources and biodiversity initiatives.
