Winemaking
At the beginning of October the
grapes are perfectly ripe and
the winemaking process starts
from the vine. Withering takes
place in the vineyard by cutting
the shoot but leaving it on the
vine for about two weeks. The
drying gives the wines typical
notes of ripe fruit, such as
plums and raisins. The grapes
are pressed and fermentation
begins. The skins are left in
contact with the must for a
long period to extract aromas
and the characteristic red color.
Traditional red vinification
continues at a controlled
temperature between 25 ° and
27 ° C.
