Vinification of the Lemon Spritz by Bottega

The vinification of the Lemon Spritz follows a careful and thoughtful process. The grapes come from selected vineyards in an ideal microclimate characterized by plenty of sunshine and fresh breezes. This creates optimal conditions for grape growth.

1. Harvesting is done manually in the early morning hours when temperatures are still cool to preserve the freshness and aromatic qualities of the grapes.

2. After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed. This first press yields the juice needed for further processing.

3. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures to extract the aromas as effectively as possible. This preserves the characteristic fruit flavors.

4. Maturation occurs in stainless steel containers to emphasize the fresh, fruity character of the wine. Aging in stainless steel further enhances the purity of the aromas and the vitality of the wine.

Every phase of this process contributes to making the Lemon Spritz a refreshing experience that can be enjoyed at festive occasions as well as in relaxed gatherings.
