Vinification
the whole grapes are directly subjected to soft pressing where only the must from the first pressing (about 50% of the juice obtained) will be used for the production of Ribolla Gialla. The must is then cold decanted for about 12-15 hours and then the alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled T°C (20-22°C). Close to the end of alcoholic fermentation when a few grams/litre of sugars remain to be developed, the wine is bottled and thus the fermentation in the bottle ends, obtaining the overpressure. The bottles will rest lying down at least 12 months before being marketed.
