WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Rosso Piceno Superiore begins with hand-harvested grapes that are carefully selected and sorted. Maceration of the skins with the must occurs for 10 to 15 days in stainless-steel tanks at temperatures ranging from 22-26°C. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in aged oak casks or for 15-18 months in large oak foudres, with occasional use of barriques. A minimum of 6 months of bottle aging completes the process before release.
