Interesting facts about Grillo
Harvest
From the third week of August to the second week of September
Vinification
Once the stems have been removed and the grapes gently pressed, they are transferred to the fermenting vat, where the temperature is controlled to initiate alcoholic fermentation and maceration of the skins. After fermenting, the skins are left to macerate in the wine for at least five days. The resulting wine then undergoes a natural malolactic fermentation and is left to rest on its own yeasts in steel tanks until it is bottled
Ageing
Once it has been bottled, it is kept in the cellars for a month before being put on the market
