The Sparkling Superiore Cartizze fact is obtained from the more dense vineyards and from mature grapes 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. At this point you add the "liquer de tirage," a syrup made up of yeast and sugar. At this point there is a new fermentation, which also produces carbon dioxide. The "liquer" determines the type of sparkling wine.
