    Harvest the Sangiovese grapes by hand when they reach optimal ripeness, usually in late September to early October.

    Crushing and Destemming

    Destem the grapes and crush them to release the juice, then transfer to fermentation tanks.

    Add yeast to the grape must and allow fermentation to occur at a controlled temperature for 10-14 days.

  4. 4

    Malolactic Fermentation
