WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Vespaiolo Spumante Extra Dry begins with the soft pressing of the Vespaiola grapes to extract the flower must. This must is then fermented in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures. The wine undergoes its second fermentation, responsible for its sparkle, in stainless steel autoclaves using the Charmat method. This technique is employed to preserve the wine's fresh, fruity characteristics and lively effervescence.
