VINIFICATION

Grapes carefully selected from vineyards with maturation favorable to the production of sparkling wine; balance in terms of lower sugar levels and higher acidity - these were the ingredients to produce the Montes Claros sparkling wine. Harvesting was carried out manually in the mornings to reach the ideal temperature for the grapes when they arrived at the winery. The grapes were transported in small quantities. After crushing and destemming the grapes, pressing, decanting in a cold system for about 24 hours and alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature. Having obtained the wine base to produce sparkling wine, the wine was bottled and stored in the cellar. The second fermentation was carried out in the bottle - the classic method. After the second fermentation and ageing, the “dégorgement” was carried out to extract the yeasts and then the topping, the process by which the “mussels” and the cork are placed.
