Whole Gleragrapes are softly pressed, and the must is stored in controlled temperature tanks after a first racking. The Pinot Noir grapes are pressed and put into tanks where light maceration is carried out in order to extract colors and tannins at a controlled temperature of 22-23°C (72°F). The white must and a small part of the red must are blended before the blend is inoculated with selected yeast cultures. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 15-16°C (60°F). Upon reaching the required alcohol and sugar content, fermentation is stopped by refrigeration. After a two month period on lees, the sparkling wine is ready for bottling.
