The best selected bunches in the vineyard undergo a delicate soft pressing to extract only the first fraction of the must flower. The vinification takes place in white in stainless steel tanks. After a few months of aging, the base wines are blended and the secondary fermentation in the bottle is carried out according to the Metodo Classico, with a sur lattes period of at least 64 months before disgorgement.
