it settles for about three months in stainless tanks. After
that wine is transferred in hermetic tanks (autoclave) where
concentrate rectified must and some selected leavens are added.
Once the fermentation in started exhaust valve of the autoclave
is closed in order to keep CO2 which is produced from the same
fermentation, in the wine.Once
fermentation processing is over, temperature goes down to -4°
C, in this condition wine remains for about three months in
