WINE MAKING PROCESS
This sparkling wine is crafted using Villa Sandi's signature 'on-demand' technique. Instead of fermenting the entire harvest immediately, the unfermented must is chilled to 0°C and stored. When a batch is scheduled for bottling, the must is warmed and inoculated with proprietary yeasts. Secondary fermentation takes place in pressurized autoclaves using the Charmat-Martinotti method. The wine is then aged on its fine lees for approximately two months before micro-filtration and bottling, ensuring maximum freshness and preserving the vibrant fruit characteristics.
