WINEMAKING:
The grapes are quickly pressed and the juice run into stainless steel tanks where it goes through its fermentation for about 8/10 days at a controlled temperature of 18°C. Later, the wine is stored in a special tank with the addition of must which has the same alcohol content. The wine then goes through a second fermentation until the desired pressure (below 2.6 atmospheres) is reached. The wine is then filtered and the semi-sparkling wine is then ready to bottle
