Wine Ingredients
Method
Wine Production Directions
- 1
Harvesting the Grapes
Select and harvest Sangiovese, Canaiolo, and Colorino grapes at their peak ripeness. Ensure grapes are free from rot and disease.
- 2
Crushing and Destemming
Destem the harvested grapes and crush them gently to release the juice. This can be done using a mechanical crusher or by hand.
- 3
Fermentation
Transfer the crushed grapes to fermentation tanks. Add yeast to initiate fermentation. Maintain a temperature of around 25-30°C for optimal fermentation.
- 4
Pressing
After fermentation (about 1-2 weeks), press the fermented grape mixture to separate the liquid wine from the solid grape skins.
- 5
Aging
Transfer the pressed wine into aging barrels. Allow the wine to age for a minimum of 24 months in oak barrels to develop its flavor profile.
- 6
Bottling
Once aging is complete, filter the wine and bottle it. Seal the bottles with corks and label appropriately for sale.
