Winemaking
Procanico and Grechetto grape varieties were harvested separately, brought to the cellars for destemming and then gently pressed. The must was chilled to a temperature of 10 °C (50 °F) to favor natural clarification. The must was then transferred into temperature controlled stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place at a temperature that did not exceed 18 °C (64 °F). The wine was aged in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 10 °C (50 °F) up until bottling.
