WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Andrea Felici Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore 2022 involves hand-harvesting grapes, typically in late September or early October, into small boxes. Fermentation takes place in concrete and stainless steel tanks, with a portion of the harvest undergoing a few days of skin maceration. Fermentation is temperature-controlled and managed under inert conditions to protect the wine from oxidation. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees for 6 to 12 months. No oak is utilized in the winemaking process; aging is exclusively in stainless steel and cement vats. Six staggered bottlings occur throughout the year.
