WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking journey for San Michelin Custoza DOC begins with a manual harvest of ripe grapes from the historic San Michelin vineyard. Following a soft pressing, the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures to preserve freshness. A significant period of aging on fine lees, often with battonage, imparts texture and complexity. This meticulous approach, rooted in organic farming and a deep respect for the morainic terroir, results in a wine of pronounced intensity, minerality, and remarkable aging potential.
