Vinification details: The grapes are picked and then divided into two. Approximately 60% of the harvest is dried using the 'appassimento' method, where the grapes are stored in well-aerated lofts to reduce the water content and concentrate their aromas and flavour. The rest of the grapes are vinified immediately. In late December, the dried grapes are fermented, which can take up to a month to complete. The wines are then aged in barrel before being blended together prior to bottling.
