This wine is made from raisins (dried grapes), the process is the same as for Amarone, i.e. the grapes are dried for about 90 to 120 days after which they
lose a lot of water. The grapes are fermented in vats for about 45 to 47 days at a temperature of 35°C for the first 3 days. From the 4th day the
temperature is lowered to 10°C and the wine must/cap is punched down and mixed 3 times a day each mixing phase lasting 10 minutes. The punch
down/mixing is carried out to extract maximum colour and aroma.
When the fermentation ends the wine is poured and decanted for 2 days where the sediments are separated and the wine is put into second pass French
barriques for 12 months. After this period the wine is decanted into a stainless steel tank and then put into French tonneaux for a further 6 months
refinement before being bottled.
