The Rosazzo Pignolo DOC of Cantina Vigne di Zamò is obtained from bunches of Pignolo coming from the company's vineyards of Rosazzo, Udine. After the harvest in early September, the grapes are placed in the cellar at the maximum stage of ripeness. Subsequently, the maceration takes place in wooden vats and tonneaux for about twenty days. Following the racking and traditional pressing and decanting in barrique. The malolactic fermentation then takes place and after 24 months of refinement it is blended and left to rest for a further 2 months in the large vat. For a further two years it ages in the bottle before being put on the market.
