WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Vin Cotto Straveccio Il Lorese Fiasco begins with the grape must, which is boiled in copper stills for 10-12 hours until its volume is reduced by 30% to 50%. This 'cooked wine' then undergoes fermentation in wooden barrels. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in wooden barrels for a minimum of five years, with some examples aging for up to twenty years. During the aging process, barrels are periodically topped up.
