WINE - MAKING
Obtaining a quality wine undoubtedly requires the use only of wine grape quality.
The prosecco Colvendrà fact is obtained from a manual and advance grape-harvest compared with its ripening to ensure a good sourness level, 120 q/hectare production.
Soft pressing to obtain just free-run juice, there is absence of maceration, or contact between juice and skins.
The fermentation, thanks to the action of yeast, transforms sugar into alcohol and other minors substances fundamental to the aroma and the structure of wine. It happens in steel tanks at a constant temperature of 18 to 20 degrees to prevent bacterial attacks.
After the fermentation, the wine undergoes a number of rackings before being stored “sur lie” method used for sparkling wine bottle.

That’s how Sparkling  Colvendrà  is born.
