The harvest includes the entry into the vineyard with manual collection in boxes of maximum 18 kg. Grapes from our vineyards in Franciacorta.

This is followed by decanting and lowering of the temperature to about 10ºC to avoid malolactic fermentation. Once the "tirage syrup" has been added, it is bottled, capped with the crown cap and laid down in a pile for foaming. Finally, the wine is aged in bottle for a period of at least 18 months.
