WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Sant'Agata Paltrinieri 2023 begins with a gentle pressing of the Lambrusco di Sorbara grapes. The initial alcoholic fermentation is conducted in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures. A crucial second fermentation, utilizing the Charmat (autoclave) method, occurs over approximately 60 days, developing the wine's characteristic effervescence. The grapes are sourced from the estate's vineyards, cultivated using organic and sustainable methods. The winemaking process prioritizes preserving the grape's natural fruit characteristics and achieving a clean, refreshing profile.
