WINE MAKING PROCESS
Cantina Giardino employs a philosophy of minimal intervention, focusing on organic viticulture and the preservation of old, indigenous vines. Grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation using only indigenous yeasts. The winemaking process typically involves short skin maceration for their rosés. Wines are generally bottled unfined and unfiltered, with minimal or no added sulfites. Aging varies, with some rosés maturing in stainless steel, others in various wooden barrels including local woods like chestnut and cherry, and some in amphorae, all contributing to the distinct character of each wine.
