The winery
The winery consists of four separate tecnical rooms :
The grape selection room
In this room the grapes are first selected and destemmed. Then after destemming, we gently press the berries in order to break the skin without excessively damaging it as well as avoiding the bruising of pips that otherwise would release very astringent and bitter substances. At the end of this procedure we obtained the must ready to be fermented.
The vat room
This is properly the room where the grapes are vinified. It is equipped with the state-of-the-art air condition system and stailess steel vats thermoregulated to 0.1°C. It also hosts the ultimate truncated-cone shape vat where we make the grape maceration with the technique of delestage. Here the first fermentation and the must clarification is carried out.
The barrique room
Here wine is aged in brand new french and american small oak casks (225 lt.) used just once a time, in order to obtain a fair release of tannins. Temperature and humidity are always under control with the best air condition systems. To avoid bacteriums growth we keep the environment sterilized with special UVA lamps tipically used in the surgeries.
The stacking room
In this room the white sparking Franciacorta is aged. During this process the bottles, filled during the bottling stage with selected yeasts and sugars, lay on their sides and let the refermentation work. At the end of this process yeasts and sugar turn into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
A second stage is the removal of the yeast deposit after the first long period of stay (from a minimum of 25 months to 48 months). In order to let it glide to the top of the neck to get soon rid of it, the bottles are fixed on special racks ( pupitres) lying face downwards. They are then manually turned every day 1/4th of a complete round and raise a bit more downwards to be nearly upright (riddling or remuage). In this room as well the temperature is all the time strictly under the control of an accurate air condition system.
