Vinification Note:
The wine is made where the grapes are grown (right under the Ligurian Apennines): following the separation of the must from the skins, the wine is refrigerated and undergoes static racking, after which the fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature (20 degrees Celsius). The wine is refined in steel for 4-5 months and is then bottled in the Spring following the harvest.
