Winemaking
The wines composing the spumante Lavì
Grillo are produced by a careful selection of hand harvested grapes, vinified at low temperatures. The following sparkling procedure takes place in autoclave at controlled-temperature of 16°C for 15 days, according to the traditional Charmat method, with a rest on lees promoted by frequent bâtonnages. During the next stage, the wine is filtered and bottled. The feature of this method implies that all procedures following fermentation, including bottling, are done in
isobaric conditions.
