In detail

The art of winemaking

Phase 1
Harvesting Grapes

It consists in the grape harvesting phase, which can be done manually or mechanized with the help of grape harvesting machines.

Phase 2
Crushing & Pressing

Pressing is the crushing phase of the berries to extract the juice (must). The draining instead consists in the separation of the solid parts from the must.

Phase 3
Fermentation

It is the process during which the sugars contained in the must are transformed by yeasts into ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide and other secondary products.

Phase 4
Clarification Process

It is the process that removes the heaviest particles to be eliminated through sedimentation.

Phase 5
Ageing the Wine

It is the phase in which the wine is stored in the large containers (silos or barrels) to mature and harmonize all its components.

Phase 6
Bottling the Wine

It is the final stage of the process and involves the insertion of the wine in the bottle or bag-in-box ready to be consumed.
