Roycello Salento Fiano Tormaresca 2018

PRODUCT NOTE

The grapes were picked when at full aromatic ripeness and were immediately pressed in the cellars. During this soft pressing there was a brief skin contact after which the must was chilled to a temperature of 60° Fahrenheit (10° centigrade) to favor a natural static settling of the impurities. The clean must was then fermented, using selected yeasts, in temperature-controlled stainless tanks at a temperature of 61° Fahrenheit (16° centigrade) The fermented wine was then given a brief period of lees contact (approximately three months) and an additional three month period of bottle aging before commercial release.
