RECIOTO DI SOAVE DOCG SPARKLING

Recioto is made from the very ripest and healthiest bunches which are carefully hand harvested and left to dry in small crates, where their sugar concentration develops. Natural withering (“appassimento”) takes place in a naturally well ventilated drying loft, called fruttaio, for 4 months. The grapes are then pressed and the wine must ferments in stainless steel at low temperature. The ageing takes place in steel tanks, where the wine rests for about an year. The wine is then transferred to autoclaves where the second fermentation takes place according to the sparkling method Charmat, where it stays to finish for 90 days.
