Vinification of the Valtenesi Rosso Leonardo by Conti Thun

When perfectly ripe, the grapes for the Valtenesi Rosso Leonardo are harvested exclusively by hand, without the use of rough and less selective harvesting machines. After the hand harvest, the grapes are quickly transported to the winery. Here, they are sorted and gently crushed. Subsequently, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the Valtenesi Rosso Leonardo can harmonize further for several months on the fine lees.
