TECHNOLOGY
For Astoria Casa Vittorino Prosecco Superiore, only the best bunches harvested manually in baskets September, at the right maturation; they follow destemming and maceration of the grapes at 8/10° C for a few hours (cryomaceration) directly in the press in a hyper-reductive environment. We proceed then to soft pressing and decantation statics of the must. Its primary fermentation takes place in steel containers at 16°C with yeasts selected natives. The new wine, deprived of coarser dregs, is retained with residue sugary and left on the yeasts for 2/3 weeks; after making it clear it is decanted into autoclave where the second fermentation takes place at 16°C which lasts approximately 20/25 days followed by a further one aging on the yeasts for a few weeks.
Bottling and resting in the bottle for at least 1-2 months conclude the cycle.
