WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Aia Vecchia involves meticulous hand-sorting of grapes to ensure optimal quality. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are vinified and fermented separately, allowing for precise control over each varietal's development. Following fermentation, the wines undergo aging in oak barrels. The final blend is then assembled, aiming to create a harmonious and expressive Super Tuscan wine. In older vintages, this wine was classified as Toscana IGT.
