WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Solosole Vermentino begins with a manual harvest conducted at night to preserve aromatic integrity. The grapes undergo soft pressing and a brief period of pre-fermentative maceration to enhance varietal aromas. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, and malolactic fermentation is avoided. The wine then ages in stainless steel on its fine lees for several months, followed by bottle aging. This approach focuses on maintaining the freshness and varietal character of the Vermentino grape.
