APPASSIMENTO
Clusters are laid on dedicated grid called “arele”, placed in very well-aired chambers under controlled temperature, known as “fruttai”. This technique ensures preventing and avoiding the potential growth of mould. The withering process lasts about 100 days.

A process lasting 20/30 days. The grape berries undergo a maceration under controlled temperature, starting slowly the fermentation process.
