WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Vigna La Casa Borgo Scopeto involves traditional red wine fermentation, with separate fermentations for different varietals conducted at 28-30°C. Techniques such as delestages and pump overs are utilized, followed by an additional 10 days of skin contact. Malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously. The wine is then aged in a combination of large Slovenian oak barrels (30-50 hectoliters) and French oak barriques (300 liters). Vine yields are maintained at approximately 50-60 quintals per hectare.
