Sofai Valtenesi Rosso Apassimento

At the beginning of October, the best Rebo and Marzamino grapes are selected manually and placed in crates, ready for drying in the attic. After a 30% weight loss, the bunches are further selected and then pressed. Fermentation is very slow with extreme attention to maintaining the aromas, extracting the color and managing the sweetness and elegance of the tannins. At the end, the wine is racked into barriques to optimize color stabilization and the malolactic fermentation. The wine then moves on to the refinement phase in second-passage French barriques where the wine rests for 12 months and is finally assembled with Groppello, previously vinified in steel barrels. The bottle will refine for another 6 months before being presented on the market.
