Winemaking

The whole bunch grapes are pressed with a pneumatic press at very delicate pressures. During vinification the musts are separated into two fractions: free-run must, which has the best qualitative characteristics and which is used for the production of Franciacorta and second pressing must which is not intended for bottling. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out in steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 16 and 18 °C. The base wine rests in the tank until the spring following the harvest.
