Production method

The grapes are harvested manually, in order to preserve their quality, at different times depending on the achievement of the specific ripeness of the variety. After the soft pressing of the grapes, the three grapes are fermented separately, obtaining the base wine which will then be refermented; the pinot noir undergoes a maceration on the skins for 18-24 hours. The second fermentation, on the other hand, takes place directly in the bottle and ensures that during this second procedure, thanks to particular yeasts, the wine also develops carbon dioxide (which will then give life to the famous bubbles when uncorked). The procedure lasts for at least 36 months on the lees and is disgorged at least 3 months before being placed on the market.
