WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Termidoro begins with hand-picked Viognier grapes. A distinctive carbonic maceration process is employed at low temperatures, followed by pressing. The wine then undergoes an initial aging period of approximately 20 months in French oak barrels. Following this, it matures in the bottle for at least 12 months before release. Colle Firata's approach integrates traditional values with contemporary winemaking technologies, with a focus on environmentally conscious practices.
