Vinification of Casella Franconia

This balanced red wine from Italy is made from the Blaufränkisch grape variety. In Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay and marl soils. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are brought to the press house as quickly as possible. There they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in concrete at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
