Vinification

Pre-fermentation cold maceration in a nitrogen-saturated environment. Although very expensive, nitrogen allows the Perusinis to eliminate the use of chemical preservatives during the delicate phase of contact with the skins and to maintain extended contact between must and grapes without oxidation. During the 4 days of skin contact, the absence of fermentation and the lack of alcohol in the must allows a very gentle extraction from the berries. Before proceeding with the separation from the skin, the temperature was raised to start fermentation and the yeast activity protected the structure and color of the product. This prevented the pleasant notes of strawberry and tropical fruit from being lost and oxidized during racking. The fermentation was then carried out at low temperature for 12 days so the yeasts processed all the aromatic compounds naturally present in the grapes and developed that magnificent sensation of volume and harmony.
