Technological research is aimed at combining operational rationality with respect to traditional oenological techniques Phases: -pressure of whole grapes with a vacuum press of modern design, in the absence of oxygen and controlled temperature to better preserve the fragrances present in the grape; - cold static decantation of must for the separation of some pulp and peat residues; - first fermentation with indigenous yeasts, with temperature control, a major factor in obtaining a quality product; - refinement of the base wine on the noble lump until the time it is taken out of the foam
For this sparkling wine, the Charmat method lasts at least 2 months. During this delicate production stage, fermentation and temperature are daily monitored because they greatly affect the quality of the sparkling wine. The post-fermentation yeast is longer than the other sparkling wines so that the aromatic and tasting profile is richer and more complex due to its maturation in the presence of yeast fermentation.
