WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Sottoriva Col Fondo Per Tradizione is produced using the traditional 'Col Fondo' method, which involves a second fermentation in the bottle. After a light pressing of whole grapes, the wine undergoes its primary fermentation. It is then bottled without filtration, allowing for a secondary fermentation to occur naturally within the bottle. This process leaves the yeast sediment (lees) in the wine, contributing to its characteristic appearance and texture. The wine is aged in the bottle, allowing it to develop further.
