    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking process for Torrione is carried out with the utmost care, respecting tradition while utilizing modern technologies. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and then rigorously selected. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's aromas and freshness. Maceration is gentle, ensuring a balanced extraction of tannins and phenolic compounds. Aging then continues in French oak barrels for a variable period, allowing the wine to refine and develop its aromatic complexity. (Not disclosed.)
