The grape stalks are removed before pressing and the pressed grapes are transferred to stainless steel horizontal containers and kept for about 7 days at a controlled temperature. In order to extract the color and primary aroma, the wine is pumped over for 10 minutes at hourly intervals. Fermentation is interrupted by cooling and filtering. The must is stored at 32° F until the second fermentation takes place in airtight tanks to reach the appropriate alcohol content and obtain a fragrant effervescence.

Tasting Notes: Red Wine. 100% Brachetto. In the glass, the wine is purple with a touch red. Aromas of roses explode out of the glass followed by strawberry, cranberry, and sweet cherry. The palate leads with a pleasant sparkle and a tasty, inviting finish.
