Method
Winemaking Process
- 1
Harvesting
Carefully handpick the Pinot Grigio grapes from the vineyard, ensuring they are ripe and free from rot.

Crushing
Crush the grapes gently to extract the juice while minimizing the skin contact to maintain a light color.
- 3
Pressing
Press the crushed grapes to separate the juice from the solids. Collect the juice in a fermentation vessel.
- 4
Fermentation
Add yeast to the grape juice and allow it to ferment at a controlled temperature of around 15-18°C for 2-3 weeks.
- 5
Stabilization
After fermentation, add sulfur dioxide to stabilize the wine and prevent oxidation.
- 6
Clarification
Let the wine settle and clarify naturally or use fining agents to help in the clarification process.
- 7
Bottling
Once clarified, bottle the wine in clean bottles and seal with corks. Allow it to age for a short period before releasing.
