WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Scurone Pet Nat Lambrusco Dell'Emilia Rosso 2020 is produced using the ancestral method, a traditional technique for creating sparkling wine. The grapes undergo a short maceration on the skins for four days before fermentation with native yeasts. The wine is then bottled with residual sugar and yeast, allowing for a second fermentation in the bottle without disgorgement, resulting in a natural sediment. It is aged for a minimum of 14 months on the lees (sur lie). The winery employs certified organic farming practices and emphasizes respect for the environment and sustainable methods.
