WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Spezieri Col d'Orcia 2022 is produced using grapes cultivated under organic and biodynamic farming practices. The harvest is conducted manually. Vinification involves maceration for 8-10 days in stainless steel tanks at temperatures not exceeding 26°C. Fermentation also occurs in steel tanks, with 20% of the Sangiovese undergoing malolactic fermentation in barriques. The wine is bottled early to retain freshness and undergoes a few months of refinement before market release.
