Winemaking Technique: Grapes are soft crushed and the skins removed at once; the clear must is fermented at a controlled temperature, with the addition of selected yeasts. The resulting wine is filtred to arrest secondary fermentation.
Bottle fermentation: Usually begins in the February or March following the grape harvest to finish in October or November. During this period of fermentation sur lit, the autolysis of the yeasts given this spumante its characteristic bouquet and flavour. The wine ferments in the bottle for about three months before it goes on sale.
