Vinification and aging: The grapes are harvested before full maturation to maintain an excellent acid balance, essential for sparkling wines. Then the juice remains in contact with the skins, for a very short time, to extract a slight pinkish color; finally a soft pressing takes place.
The must obtained ferments in steel at a controlled temperature (16 ºC). The second fermentation takes place from the beginning of the spring after the harvest. After the second fermentation in bottle the wine ages on the lees for a minimum of 24 months.
The sparkling wine is not dosed.

Winemaker: Vito Giovinco
