From the vinification as a blend of grapes from the company's finest vines, "Lambrusco Sorbara" to which a small percentage of "Lambrusco Salamino" is added. The origin of the vines falls within the company areas in Emilia-Romagna, in the plain area and at the beginning of the foothills near Modena. Double curtain and espalier trained vines with spurred cordon or Guyot pruning on fertile soil of medium texture. The vinification of this sensational wine of the Mediterranean tradition requires harvested by hand towards the end of September; after a cryomaceration of about 3 days, alcoholic fermentation follows on decanted must, with selected yeasts and controlled temperature. Subsequently the second fermentation takes place by refermentation in autoclave, according to the Charmat method, for about 4 weeks.
