WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Rubesco Lungarotti is produced from 90% Sangiovese and 10% Colorino grapes. The grapes are harvested in mid-September. Vinification involves fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 26°C (79°F) with 15 days of skin contact. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a year of aging in casks and another year in bottle, after a light filtration.
