WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Spirito Libero Vermentino begins with organic viticulture and manual harvesting. After destemming, the grapes are gently pressed. The resulting must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16°C. A key aspect of the 'Spirito Libero' line is the absence of added sulfites; the wine relies on naturally occurring sulfites. The wine is then aged for six months in steel tanks before being bottled.
