WINE MAKING METHOD: A gentle pressing of the whole bunches in a pneumatic press with central bellows and fermentation in stainless steel, thermostatically controlled wine vats produce the wine that is ideal as a “sparkling wine base” During the year after harvesting this is re-fermented in the bottle at a controlled temperature. The Inzolia,  additionally, is re-fined for a further five months in oaken vats. The two wines are then blended to give a wine that is ideal as a “sparkling wine base”. In the spring following the  harvest this is refermented in the bottle at a controlled temperature for a further 12 months on its lees. It is then uncorked, the “liqueur d’expédition” is added and it stays an additional four months for refining in a temperature controlled environment.
