Vinification of Sassotondo Franze

The well-balanced Franze from Italy is a cuvée, organically produced from the Ciliegiolo and Teroldego grape varieties. After the grape harvest, the grapes are immediately brought to the press house. There they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large wooden vats at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally drawn off.
