Vinification of the Insolia Alakì by Terre di Giurfo

The balanced Insolia Alakì from Italy is a single-variety wine made from the Inzolia grape. When perfectly ripe, the grapes for the Insolia Alakì are harvested exclusively by hand, without the aid of strenuous and hardly selective machines. After hand harvesting, the grapes are quickly transported to the winery. Here, they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is succeeded by a few months of aging on the fine lees before the wine is finally bottled.
