Vinification of the Pompeii Rosso by Bosco de Medici

The basis for the well-balanced Agathos Piedirosso Pompeiano IGT from Italy is grapes of the Piedirosso variety. These grapes thrive under optimal conditions in Campania, where the vines drive their roots deep into flint soils. At optimal ripeness, the grapes for the Agathos Piedirosso Pompeiano IGT are harvested exclusively by hand, without the use of rough, less selective mechanical harvesters. After picking, the grapes are brought to the winery without delay, where they are carefully sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine ages for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
