The squeezing out and the pressing of the fruit is followed by a process of cooled static decanting of 48 hours.
This process is useful to separate the the gross sediments, that, thank to the cold temperature, fall in the lower level, without the addition of any other element. The fermentation of Grillo lasts 20-25 days, with a temperature setting always lower than 18°.
After this process starts the aging in modern containers made of steel, that is concluded by the last phase, the evolution in the bottle that lasts, for the white wines of Sicily, 2-3 months. The end of the process is essential to give the wines the features that make them recognizable.
