WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Villa Bibbiani for Treggiaia begins with rigorous hand-harvesting of grapes into small boxes. The winery employs gravity systems to move grapes and must, reducing mechanical stress. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures (25-28°C) for 15-20 days, with soft punch-downs. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged for six months in French oak barriques, followed by another six months in large Slavonian oak barrels (25 hectoliters).
