| WINE MAKING |
Lambrusco Sorbara grapes are hand-picked the second week of September, crushed in a pneumatic soft press and subsequently fermented at controlled temperature into stainless steel tanks up to 8-9% alcohol. The freshly fermented wine is kept at low temperature on its lees until February following the harvest, when a secondary fermentation is activated in Inox tanks (Charmat method) to produce natural effervescence and carbonic pressure. This is a bone-dry sparkler with less than 2 gr/lt of residual sugar. |
