WINEMAKING: Manually selected grapes are left to dry for a period of 4 months, at the end of which are pressed intact with a traditional press. The must, dense and rich in sugar is fermented, without control of temperature, inside hermetically closed oak and chestnut barrels. The fermentation, spontaneously induced by yeasts in the caratello, extends for several years.
AGEING: In wood barrels called caratello for 4/5 years, in bottles for 6 months.
