WINE MAKING PROCESS
Severus Marcampo is produced using 100% Sangiovese grapes. The harvest is carried out by hand with selection in small boxes. Fermentation and maceration take place in stainless steel vats for about 15 days under controlled temperatures, followed by natural malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged for 12 months in 2000-liter Slavonian oak barrels, with a subsequent period of 6 months in stainless steel vats (or alternatively, 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels). Production is limited to around 2,500 bottles.
