WINE MAKING PROCESS
Ser Alfiero Canto alla Moraia is produced using native yeasts for alcoholic fermentation, with controlled temperatures and techniques such as pumping over and delestage for extraction. Malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks, with periodic stirring on fine lees, and is bottled unfiltered. Harvest is done by hand, with grapes carefully handled. The estate emphasizes organic and biodynamic farming practices.
