Soft squeeze of grapes, with immediate separation from skins. The must, which is of a natural pink colour, varying in intensity depending on the vintage, undergoes discoloration by a process of hyper-oxygenation. The resulting must is placed in steel vats at a controlled temperature of 14-20 degrees Celsius (57-68 Fahrenheit) for about 15-20 days, where the alcoholic fermentation takes place. Subsequently, the wine undergoes several changes of container, reaching a maturation process in steel tanks for about two months. After this, the wine is placed in autoclaves where it undergoes re-fermentation (spumantizzazione). After the re-fermentation (about 3-4 months) the wine is bottled

Refine for about 30-40 days in glass bottles
