WINEMAKING
Grillo grapes are harvested during the first two weeks of September; the perfectly ripe and healthy grapes are taken to the winery to be crushed, de-stemmed, macerated and gently pressed in order to obtain a complete and optimally coloured must; the must is aired and then dynamically clarified, this operation called flotation. The resulting clear must is cooled down to 16-18° C and then selected yeasts are added in order to produce fermentation. When finished, the wine is cooled down to 12-14° C and after 10-12 days the first transfer of the wine is carried out. Piantaferro Grillo is kept at a controlled temperature until bottling.
