Production Process
Cultivation
In the cultivation process, biodynamic agriculture methods are used, although these are not officially certified. Our approach, essentially natural and sustainable, is characterized by the absence of chemical fertilizers and synthetic products. No treatments are carried out so that the vineyard can develop in harmony with the surrounding environment.
Vinification
Harvested in late September, grapes are selected, destemmed, and crushed. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts lasts about 15 days.
Aging
The wine ages in steel silos for 18 months before bottling, with no added sulfur.
Recommended Pairings
Rosso dei Sesi pairs well with traditional dishes like stewed vegetables and soups, as well as white meats and aged cheeses.
