WINE MAKING PROCESS
Sfera Orange is crafted using extended skin maceration, a defining characteristic of orange wines. The fermentation and aging process takes place in distinctive spherical concrete tanks, promoting natural convection and lees integration. The winery employs a minimal intervention approach, utilizing native yeasts and limiting sulfur additions. The wine is bottled unfiltered, preserving its natural character and texture. Grapes are meticulously hand-harvested from organically farmed vineyards.
