Wine Production Directions
1. Harvesting the Grapes
Select ripe Dolcetto grapes from the vineyard, ensuring they are healthy and free from rot. The grapes should be harvested by hand to maintain quality.
2. Crushing and Destemming
Once harvested, crush the grapes and remove the stems using a grape crusher. This will allow the juice to be extracted easily.
3. Fermentation
Transfer the crushed grapes into fermentation tanks. Add sulfur dioxide to prevent oxidation, followed by yeast to initiate fermentation. Allow the mixture to ferment at controlled temperatures for 7-10 days.
4. Pressing
After fermentation, press the mixture to separate the liquid wine from the solids (pomace). This process extracts the juice that will become the wine.
5. Aging
Transfer the wine into barrels or tanks for aging. Allow the wine to mature for about 6-12 months, depending on the desired characteristics.
6. Bottling
Once aged, filter the wine and transfer it into bottles. Seal with corks and label appropriately.
