The Gojers transitioned the winery from selling grapes to bottling their own wines, embracing a philosophy of minimal intervention in the cellar.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Pranzegg Vino Rosso Leggero begins with a short maceration of just one day, followed by spontaneous fermentation using native yeasts. Half of the juice may be aged on the skins of white wine for added complexity. Aging occurs partially in concrete eggs and partially in wooden barrels or fiberglass. The wine is typically bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulfur addition. Harvest usually occurs in September.
