Blend of grapes
Vermentino from Tuscany IGTVinification
When the grapes are harvested early in the morning, to be able to bring them fresh cellar, followed by soft crushing-destemming and maceration pre-fermentation in a cooled tank but without the use of heating systems refrigeration at low temperatures. This stage helps the development of perfumes, a light extraction of substances from the skins and a clarification natural of the wine. It is waited for 8-12 hours, then, on the same day, it is racked off and let it rest overnight. The next morning it is usually obtained the clarification of the wine and then it is decanted before the start of the fermentation to preserve the aromas as much as possible during fermentation.
The alcoholic fermentation of the "flower" begins spontaneously and takes place a low temperatures (18°-20°C) and lasts about 20-30 days. Follows the malolactic fermentation which is carried out to make the wine stable in the time. In fact, this fermentation carried out avoids the risk of one refermentation in the bottle with consequent organoleptic anomalies of wine. If the malolactic fermentation did not take place, the wine would need to be filtered in this way sterile to eliminate the bacterial agents that cause it. Such filtering
on the other hand, being so narrow is traumatic and strips the wine of structure and aromas. In the fermentation and in all subsequent stages of production it does not come used no substance other than very low quantities of sulphites, therefore the total sulfur dioxide of the marketed wine is a maximum of 50 mg/lt, variable depending on the vintage and the fermentation process.
