- 1
Harvesting
Harvest the Pinot Grigio grapes at their peak ripeness, typically in late summer to early fall.

Crushing and Pressing
Crush the harvested grapes gently to extract the juice and then press the crushed grapes to separate the juice from the skins.

Transfer the juice to fermentation tanks and add yeast. Allow it to ferment at controlled temperatures (12-18°C) for about 2 weeks.
- 4
Clarification
Once fermentation is complete, clarify the wine by racking it off the sediment into clean tanks.

Aging
Age the wine in stainless steel tanks for several months to develop its flavors without the influence of oak.
